NewsCARB-X funds Rhode Island Hospital to assess feasibility of direct from blood detection of bacterial pneumonia
Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (CARB-X) will award Rhode Island Hospital at Brown University Health US$1M to demonstrate proof-of-concept of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach informed by RNA sequencing to detect bacterial pneumonia directly from whole blood.

NewsSaliva indicates severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children
A saliva test can more accurately indicate the severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children than the standard blood test. If saliva contains too few broadly protective antibodies, a child is more likely to suffer from pneumonia episodes.

NewsRespiratory bacteria ‘turns off’ immune system to survive
Researchers have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness.
