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

The system consists of a microfluidic cartridge with 640 incubation wells that allows the platform to visually test all clinically relevant antibiotics quantitatively.

“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,” ...

McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria - and determining which antibiotics can stop them - in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to ...
