Novel rapid genetic test could spare 14,000 newborns from lifelong hearing loss

Clinicians and nurses in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) across Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) are the world’s first to deploy genedrive’s MT-RNR1 ID Kit, a new rapid genetic point of care test (POCT) to screen babies for the genetic variant m.1555A>G when admitted with suspected sepsis

Discovery could help explain why certain infections are hard to get rid of

A new study led by researchers at University of Utah Health details a novel mechanism that infectious bacteria use to quickly adjust to environmental stress. The discovery could help explain why certain types of common infections - such as urinary tract and bloodstream infections like sepsis- are hard to get rid of.
