George Washington University developed an electronic sensor that can detect bacteria within seconds with a high success rate 71 percent in tests.
As biologist know to learn whether the inflammation occurs or not usually need at least 24 hours in laboratory tests. If a harmful bacteria growth can be too late when you are aware. And it can be easy to predict negative consequences of this situation. But a new method developed by George Washington University, can now identify the bacteria in seconds.
Today, bacteria control can be done by carried out samples of bacteria from the wound. Samples are placed in a bowl is taken to wait for the formation of the bacterial cell. And treatment does no start without taking the laboratory results. If you do not want to wait for this testing process, it is possible to start antibiotic treatment immediately. Hoverer this method may cause a different effects if there is not inflammation and you use it in vain.
Dr. Victoria Shanugam and her team developed this device can detect a specific molecule called ‘pyocyanin’ seen in strains of bacteria in open wounds within seconds. Therefore, it is reduced from hours-long process to seconds. The success rate in clinical trials was recorded as 71 percent. With the development of technology of device will reduce the error rate.
