Rapid and simple pressure-sensitive adhesive microdevice fabrication for sequence-specific capture and fluorescence detection of sepsis-related bacterial plasmid gene sequences

Nanomechanical Detection of Bacteria–Bacteriophage Interactions Using Microchannel Microcantilevers

“…17 These limitations include the limited amount of genomic sequence responsible for bacterial resistance, the high mutation rate in bacteria, and the need for expansive treatment. 18,19 There is limited knowledge about the drug resistance mechanisms of bacteria. The absence of identified drug resistance genes in a bacterial strain does not mean that the bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, because they can acquire other mechanisms of resistance.…”
