New method accelerates resistance testing in UTIs
New method accelerates resistance testing in urinary tract infections – Direct analysis of urine delivers antibiotic resistance results up to 24 hours earlier Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for diagnosing urinary tract infections that significantly accelerates antibiotic resistance testing in urine. Because the procedure does not require labour-intensive pre-cultivation of bacteria – as is standard practice – results on antibiotic effectiveness are available one day earlier. Conventional laboratory analyses require two to three days. The new approach provides the foundation for a home-use rapid test. Approximately 152 million people are diagnosed with a
