Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

The COVID-19 pandemic made it very clear that we need better methods to quickly screen for dangerous pathogens and substances. One such compound that regularly flies under the radar is ...

With just a room-temperature “pot,” a sprinkling of molecules, and a simple electrical device, pathogen DNA detection can now be achieved in under an hour anywhere. This method creates ...

These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...

Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

"This biosensor is the first of its kind," said Chakrabarty, speaking of the technology used to detect airborne virus and bacteria particles. Scientists previously had to use slower detection methods ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Ropar have unveiled a cutting-edge diagnostic approach that could transform how bacterial infections are identified in ...

The limits of conventional bathing water monitoring are becoming harder to ignore.Many of these sites sit close to treated ...
