研究人员开发快速、廉价的抗生素抗药性测试,以对抗全球健康威胁。 Researchers develop rapid, affordable antibiotic resistance test to combat global health threat.

IIT Madras的研究人员创造了一种负担得起的微氟化物装置“-μD”,可以快速测试抗生素的细菌耐药性。 Researchers at IIT Madras have created an affordable microfluidic device, 'ε-µD', that rapidly tests bacterial resistance to antibiotics. 该装置使用屏幕打印的碳电极,在三个小时内提供结果,使它对较小的诊所和农村地区来说是理想的。 Using screen-printed carbon electrodes, the device provides results in three hours, making it ideal for smaller clinics and rural areas. 这种创新可导致作出更快、更准确的治疗决定,并有助于对抗抗菌性抗药性,这是全球最大的健康威胁。 This innovation can lead to quicker, more accurate treatment decisions and help combat antimicrobial resistance, a top global health threat.
