| Scientists sequence streptococcus bacteria strain causing severe infections Posted: 20 Sep 2015 08:44 AM PDT Sequencing of GBS strain aims to determine the reason for the recent increase in infection and to help combat the disease. |
| DNA sequencing to improve treatment of urinary infections Posted: 19 Sep 2015 05:17 AM PDT Urinary tract infections could be treated more quickly and efficiently using a DNA sequencing device the size of a USB stick -- according to new research. Researchers used a new device called MinION to perform nanopore sequencing to characterize bacteria from urine samples four times more quickly than using traditional methods of culturing bacteria. The new method can also detect antibiotic resistance -- allowing patients to be treated more effectively and improving stewardship of diminishing antibiotic reserves. |
| Coordinating traffic down the neuronal highway Posted: 18 Sep 2015 08:14 AM PDT An international team of researchers has identified a protein that regulates the growth of neurons by transporting key metabolic enzymes to the tips of neural cells. Their findings open up new avenues for design of drugs for ataxia, a motor coordination disorder. |
