Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

A new study uses single-cell genomics to identify previously undetected bacterial species and enhance our understanding of antibiotic resistance within the human microbiome

What will the new year bring to our shores, our cities, and our homes?

These antibiotics could kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a notorious bacterium that causes chronic infections and death

Accurate results produced by rapid metagenomics help initiate treatment 18–42 hours earlier than conventional tests

What happens when the antibiotics we depend on are no longer effective?

COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of rapid results from the laboratory

Research aims at demonstrating diagnostic value of next-generation sequencing for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and translation into clinical practice

Those who have the mutation clear an infection without an excessive immune response

Antibiotic stewardship should be a priority for all patient-facing clinicians
