Ensuring pharmaceutical safety and efficacy hinges on rigorous quality control (QC). By identifying potential microbial contaminants early in drug development and production, microbial QC tests ...

Everyone's mailing in stool samples for a gut report, but can an at-home microbiome test actually tell you anything?

Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...

A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of disease-causing pathogens, promising much easier diagnostic tests and greater food ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...
