Drug-resistant bacterial pathogens have a significant impact on human and animal life and health. With the current decrease in antibiotic effectiveness, there is an urgent need for effective diagnostic methods to detect drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Phages offer a unique opportunity for superbug detection.
Conventional culture diagnostics are often time-consuming and not suitable for immediate use. This is not beneficial for early treatment. Given the unique cellular sensitivity characteristics of phages, they can be used to create an effective identification method for drug-resistant bacteria. Ace Infectious offers services for the development of reporter phage-based superbug detection systems that take advantage of their rapid and sensitive properties making them ideal tools for detecting drug-resistant bacteria.
