In a recent study published in BMC Microbiology, researchers developed the Novel Organism Verification and Analysis (NOVA) algorithm to systematically analyze bacterial isolates unidentified using ...

Clinical bacteriology relies on the ability to identify cultured isolates. However, unknown isolates are common in hospital settings. Now, researchers at the University of Basel, have established a ...

In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers assessed a novel method for bacterial cell segmentation named Omnipose. Breakthroughs in microscopy are extremely promising for enabling ...

Rapidly analyzing samples for the presence of bacteria and similar organic structures is generally quite a time-intensive process, with often the requirement of a cell culture being developed.

Bacterial identification can take hours and often longer -- precious time when diagnosing infections and selecting appropriate treatments. There may be a quicker, more accurate process. By teaching a ...

Raman spectroscopy, especially in its surface-enhanced variant, is an attractive approach for the rapid detection of different bacteria, thanks to the unique spectral fingerprint that different ...
