Cornell food scientists show that a standard quality test used for raw, organic milk is insufficient for distinguishing between specific groups of bacteria, suggesting that the criteria for ...

In children with suspected sinusitis, a nasal swab to test for three types of bacteria can tell whether antibiotics are likely to be effective or not, according to a new JAMA study by researchers at ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a measurement technique that rapidly measures the number of viable bacteria in food products. They have succeeded in drastically reducing the inspection time from 2 days to ...

Researchers at Amsterdam UMC have developed a new diagnostic test that can quickly and accurately diagnose bacterial meningitis. The test measures the CRP protein in cerebrospinal fluid, a protein ...

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 ...

D.C. will begin daily testing of the Potomac River for bacteria, following last month’s major sewage spill caused by a ruptured sewage line. With support from the EPA, officials plan to expand ...

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

A doctor yesterday reminded people not to take certain types of drugs before getting a stool antigen test for Helicobacter pylori amid a one-time government-funded testing program for people aged 45 ...
