Global Spread of the Multi-Resistant Pathogen Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Revealed

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains occur in several natural and human associated ecosystems. The bacterium was long regarded as relatively unproblematic, but is now considered to be one of the most feared hospital pathogens, as it frequently causes infections and is resistant to a number of antibiotics. More...

New Blood Test Can Determine When an Individual Was Exposed to a Pathogenic Microorganism

An international research team has developed a diagnostic blood test – initially for the recurring form of vivax malaria – that can determine when an individual was exposed to a pathogenic microorganism, including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. More...

Different Methods Compared for Species Identification of Enterococcus

Biochemical test‐based methodologies are still used in some laboratories for the identification of bacterial isolates, mainly because of the need for the performance of drug susceptibility tests. However, these systems are unable to distinguish some species, especially among Gram‐positive bacteria. More...
