Rapid method shown to detect infection in cystic fibrosis

Rapid method shown to detect infection in cystic fibrosis: Southampton researchers have demonstrated a quick and accurate method to diagnose bacterial infections. The technique has the potential to detect infections in cystic fibrosis patients in minutes rather than days. In future, the simple analysis could be performed on hospital wards to deliver faster and more […]
