The new device quickly tests pathogens

Finnish and American scientists have successfully investigated new equipment that quickly and accurately screened pathogens, thereby minimizing the use of antibiotics.

The test device is operated by, after inserting the pathogenic bacteria into the device, the pathogenic bacteria attach to the surface of the rotating magnetic particles in the device.

The different bacteria will make the rotation speed of the magnetic particles change not the same. Based on this feature, scientists can accurately judge the type of pathogenic bacteria that provide the basis for the precise use of antibiotics.

According to the scientists, the device simplifies the process and shortens the time to identify the type of pathogenic bacteria, and by its small volume, it can be used in relatively harsh environments. .

In the immediate future, to identify pathogenic bacteria need to cultivate bacteria, but the cost is high and time consuming, so doctors often prescribe some antibiotics have anti-bacterial effect. This is one of the causes leading to the abuse of antibiotics.

In recent days, the emergence of the 'virus' has become resistant to many antibiotics that have attracted the attention of the medical community. Experts believe that the presence of the virus is associated with the abuse of antibiotics.
