MiDOG Animal Diagnostics today announced the launch of its enhanced Whole Genome Sequencing diagnostic service, significantly expanding its sequencing platform to provide one of the most comprehensive ...

Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...

A genetic variant called IMP-18, common in Costa Rica and other Latin American countries, was not detected by commercial systems.

Expanding access to advanced PCR thermocyclers, DNA & RNA purification systems, and hematology analyzers for modern clinical ...

BIDMC microbiologists unveil a faster, simpler test to predict antibiotic effectiveness against drug‑resistant infections, saving time and improving care.

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harboring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

The present test, called the Laboratory Pasteurization Count (LPC), looks for thermoduric bacteria (strong enough to endure pasteurization) and does not differentiate whether bacteria form spores or ...

New research from the Technical University of Denmark indicates that the outcome of a resistance measurement may depend on the conditions under which the bacterium is tested. Standard laboratory tests ...
