The lack of rapid antibiotic susceptibility tests adversely affects the treatment of bacterial infections and contributes to increased prevalence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Here, we describe an all-electrical approach that allows for…
Purpose: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health concern, affecting hospital admissions and treatment success. This study aims to introduce an experimental setup for monitoring bacterial activity over time using image-based…
Nutrient limitation is one of the most common triggers of antibiotic tolerance and persistence. Here, we present two microfluidic setups to study how spatial and temporal variation in nutrient availability lead to increased survival of…
Droplet microfluidics offers a versatile platform for analyzing liquid samples. Despite its potential, there is a lack of techniques that allow to reliably probe individual circulating droplets. The prospect of combining droplet…
Microfluidic droplet screens serve as an innovative platform for high-throughput biotechnology, enabling significant advancements in discovery, product optimization, and analysis. This review sheds light on the emerging trend of interaction…
Bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment is a huge concern: introduction of any new antibiotic is shortly followed by the emergence of resistant bacterial isolates in the clinic. This issue is compounded by a severe lack of new…
Bacterial biofilms play a significant role in various fields that impact our daily lives, from detrimental public health hazards to beneficial applications in bioremediation, biodegradation, and wastewater treatment. However,…
The rise of Antimicrobial Resistance, particularly Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR), presents a critical challenge for clinical decision-making due to limited treatment options and delays in conventional susceptibility testing. This study…
Background: Microbiota have evolved to acclimate themselves to many environments. Humanity is become ever increasingly medicated and many of those medications are antibiotics. Sadly, Microbiota are adapting to medication and with each…
Rapid identification of bacteria is essential to prevent the spread of infectious disease, help combat antimicrobial resistance, and improve patient outcomes. Raman optical spectroscopy promises to combine bacterial detection,…
A fundamental step in the race to design a rapid diagnostic test for antimicrobial resistance is the separation of bacteria from their matrix. Many recent studies have been focused on the development of systems capable of separating and…
A major public health issue is the growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. An important part of the needed response is the discovery and development of new antimicrobial strategies. These require the screening of potential new drugs,…
Antibiotics are a vital class of drugs closely associated with the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. Accurate prediction of molecular antimicrobial activity remains a key challenge in the pursuit of novel antibiotic…
Bacterial biofilms are among the oldest and most prevalent multicellular life forms on Earth and are increasingly relevant in research areas related to industrial fouling, medicine and biotechnology. The main hurdles to obtaining definitive…
Antibiotic resistance is a topical problem for both humans and animals and has been the subject of special monitoring for two decades. Several recent studies, including ours, have shown that this phenomenon is accentuated by the transfer of…
Portable low-cost sensors and sensing systems for the identification and quantitative measurement of bacteria in field water are critical in preventing drinking water from being contaminated by bacteria. In this article, we reported the…
Clinicians prescribe antibiotics by looking at the patient's health record with an experienced eye. However, the therapy might be rendered futile if the patient has drug resistance. Determining drug resistance requires time-consuming…
Antibiotics are the wonder discoveries to combat microbes. For decades, multiple varieties of antibiotics have been used for therapeutic purposes in hospital settings and communities throughout the world. Unfortunately, bacteria have become…
We present a high-throughput microfluidic platform capable of quantitating up to 384 biomarkers in 4 distinct samples by immunoassay. The microfluidic device contains 384 unit cells, which can be individually programmed with pairs of…
This work describes a new microfluidic device developed for rapid screening of solubility diagrams. In several parallel channels, hundreds of nanoliter-volume droplets of a given solution are first stored with a gradual variation in the…
