Potential Microbial Markers Identified for Cervical Pre-Cancer Progression

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. However, only a small percentage of high-risk (HR) HPV infections progress to cervical pre-cancer and cancer. The role of the cervicovaginal microbiome (CVM) in the natural history of HR-HPV has been investigated. More...

Real Time RT-PCR Test for COVID-19
Detects 3 SARS-CoV-2 targets in parallel, the targets are recommended by the WHO. No other tests worldwide focuses on 3 targets.
2 controls are included: Showing the sample quality; Extraction and inhibition control.

Deep Throat SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load Ascertained in Saliva Samples

Posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples are a non-invasive specimen more acceptable to patients and health-care workers. Unlike severe acute respiratory syndrome, patients with COVID-19 had the highest viral load near presentation, which could account for the fast-spreading nature of this epidemic. More...

Novel Rapid Test Developed for Detecting Carbapenemase

As a potent β-lactamase, carbapenemase can degrade almost all β-lactam antimicrobial drugs, including the carbapenems, regarded as the last line of therapy for many life-threatening infections. If uncontrolled, the spread of these carbapenemases is expected to increase therapeutic failure and leave many patients with no effective treatment options. More...

Novel Nanofluidic Device Traps and Concentrates Pathogenic Bacteria

 A nanofluidic device containing stacked magnetic beads of different sizes has been developed to efficiently trap, concentrate, and retrieve Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria from liquid suspensions. More...

Factors Associated with ARDS in COVID-19 Identified

 Patients with COVID-19 present primarily with fever, myalgia or fatigue, and dry cough. Although most patients are thought to have a favorable prognosis, older patients and those with chronic underlying conditions may have worse outcomes. More...

SARS-Cov-2 Specific Antibody Responses in COVID-19 Patients

 The rapid identification of the etiology and the sharing of the genetic sequence of the virus, followed by international collaborative efforts initiated due to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 have led to the rapid availability of real-time PCR diagnostic assays that support the case ascertainment and tracking of the outbreak. More...
