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 ...

Algorithms have helped uncover a new antibiotic candidate that shows promise against some particularly nasty bugs, using a novel mode of attack that should be hard for them to develop resistance to.

An AI-powered algorithm that can deduce the structure of proteins is among the breakthroughs recognized by the 2023 Gairdner Awards, Canada’s most prestigious accolade for research related to human ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at University Medicine Oldenburg have developed an AI tool that delivers fewer false-positive results than conventional screening methods when testing bacteria for resistance to reserve ...

CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

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 ...
