Mucor PCR testing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid showed high specificity in identifying invasive pulmonary mucormycosis (IPM) in lung transplant recipients, especially when used in conjunction ...

A simple PCR of mouth rinse may serve as a useful non-invasive test in diagnosing Pneumocystis pneumonia compared with ...

The COVID-19 pandemic yielded important advances in testing for respiratory viruses, but it also exposed important unmet needs in screening to prevent the spread of infections in high-risk settings.

We assessed whether multiplex real-time PCR plus conventional microbiological testing is safe and more effective than conventional microbiological testing alone for reducing antibiotic use in ...

These tests have very limited clinical use. The need for antibody testing would be to determine if a patient has recovered from COVID-19, and whether we could take a sample of the patient’s plasma to ...

Many people will have experienced being unwell with an unknown infection and having to undergo multiple tests to determine the culprit. This sequential process of elimination can be time-consuming and ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CODX) ("Co-Dx" or "the Company"), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, today announced ...

Real-time PCR enables faster Mycoplasma detection to meet rigorous cell therapy safety standards and reduce quality control-related workflow delays. Cell therapy innovation is accelerating, but ...

A new biotechnology company in McKinney has ambitions to become the world's first fully integrated platform for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing - the same technology behind a common COVID-19 ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...
