Bacterial Infection

The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria at four Norwegian wastewater treatment plants: seasonal and wastewater-source effects.

Wastewater treatment plants receive low concentrations of antibiotics. Residual concentrations of antibiotics in the effluent may accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance in the receiving environments. Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in countries with strict regulation of antibiotic use is important in gaining knowledge of how effective these policies are in preventi...

Deep Learning-Based Culture-Free Bacteria Detection in Urine Using Large-Volume Microscopy.

Bacterial infections, increasingly resistant to common antibiotics, pose a global health challenge. Traditional diagnostics often depend on slow cell culturing, leading to empirical treatments that accelerate antibiotic resistance. We present a novel large-volume microscopy (LVM) system for rapid, point-of-care bacterial detection. This system, using low magnification (1-2×), visualizes sufficient...
