Researchers at EPFL and Vrije Universiteit Brussel have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called ...

A new way of rapidly identifying bacteria, which requires a slight modification to a simple microscope, may change the way doctors approach treatment for patients who develop potentially deadly ...

If the bacteria with which someone is infected are antibiotic-resistant, physicians need to know so as soon as possible, so they can take the appropriate action. A simple new system could help, by ...

BIELEFELD, Germany, Dec. 13 (UPI) --Studying bacterial cells and other cell cultures at high resolutions is now much easier thanks to a team of researchers from Germany. Scientists at Bielefeld ...

“We have developed a technique in our laboratories that allows us to obtain an antibiogram within 2-4 hours – instead of the current 24 hours for the most common germs and one month for tuberculosis,” ...

A current challenge in cellular and molecular microbiology is to understand how these cellular structures and machineries are assembled at the correct time and space to achieve their functions.

With the development of a nano-scale optic fiber detector around 100 times thinner than a human hair, researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have created a tiny device so ...

Assessing how resistant different bacteria are to antibiotic treatments is a vital current challenge in public healthcare, as instances of antibiotic resistance continue to grow. Optical techniques ...

Molecular microscopy: on the left is an artist’s impression of the microscope objective (silver) used in the experiment to view atoms in a 2D optical lattice formed by red laser beams. The image on ...

Holographic microscope coupled with machine-learning software, which could be an inexpensive, point-of-care solution for hospitals and contamination screening of food industries worldwide, will be ...
