Surgeons Develop A Faster, Less Expensive Technique To Identify Bacterial Infections And Determine Antibiotic Resistance
Surgeons at Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University in Detroit are developing a faster, less expensive method of identifying bacterial infections and determining their antibiotic resistance. Surgeons used a technology known as Raman spectroscopy to look at the bacteria's infrared wavelengths and pinpoint unique patterns of molecular vibration in blood samples inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria that causes Staph infections. Their findings were reported today at the 2011 Annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons...
