    Chinese Scientists Develop Novel Instrument for Rapid Profiling of Antimicrobial Resistance

    Widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the associated rise of “superbugs” is a major public health threat. A leading cause is the misuse or overuse of antibiotics due to the paucity of rapid assays for clinical AMR. Now, Chinese scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have introduced a prototype instrument that can directly measure antimicrobial resistant phenotypes at single-cell resolution from clinical samples within three hours, without the need for cell propagation. Widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the associated rise of “superbugs” is a major public health threat. A leading cause is the misuse or overuse of antibiotics due to the paucity of rapid assays for clinical AMR.
      Now, Chinese scien...
