NewsScientists can pinpoint bacterial needle in haystack using fluorescence
Bacterial troublemakers are able to survive antibiotics and are not detected by diagnostic antibiotic resistance testing. A new method has been developed to look at single bacteria and to find the antibacterial resistant ones, or the troublemakers, among them.
