Microbial testing laboratories often face challenges such as genetic drift, variability in results, and the need for extensive preparation. These issues can lead to inconsistent results and increased ...

A unique method to screen large-scale libraries for industrially useful bacterial strains was recently developed by Tokyo Tech researchers. The simple approach combines biosensors and microfluidics to ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of pharmaceutical testing, ensuring the highest standards of microbial quality control (QC) is paramount. MicroQuant™, a cutting-edge solution from ATCC, is designed to ...

On September 29, 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of two final test method Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for evaluating the efficacy of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers developed a method to measure the maintenance or loss of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) activity for thousands of ...

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

Copper nanoparticles from beetroot extract enhance antimicrobial properties in polymer composites, offering a sustainable ...

Pediatric ENT infections are prevalent and one of the most common reasons for antibiotic prescriptions. Turnaround times of conventional culturing assays are long leading to poor clinical management ...
