Question

Speed is essential for the identification of bacteria and treatment of infection in patients Select one: True False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation: Usually, traditional approaches to bacterial identification and drug sensitivity testing rely on culture-based methods that require up to 7 days to produce results. The long cycle time lead to the spread of infectious disease, adverse outcomes of patients and abuse of antibiotics that can lead to antibiotic resistance. to provide creative approaches for faster bacterial analysis, a number of methods are being built to exploit single-cell analysis, microfluidic concentration and detection strategies and ultrasensitive readout. Bacterial even other microbial (viral) infections are potentially life-threatening and it require rapid identification and characterization of such microbes. It is also necessary to treatment of infection as soon as possible so that infection can be minimized or diagnosed. Rapid and accurate identification of infected bacteria and clinical sample involves characterization at the level of the species or/and subspecies and determination of their susceptibility to antibiotics.
