The advancement of sensing systems and methodologies that have the ability to provide continuous results in real time, at low cost and high throughput, has been driven by the increasing demand for cell-based assays to figure out the interaction that takes place between cells and biological and chemical compounds or materials.

Improving Public Education to Combat Superbug Threat

If we are to overcome the challenge that superbugs pose, it is crucial that efforts are made to educate the public on drug-resistant superbugs. Currently, many people do not perceive antibiotic resistance as an immediate threat to their health or those around them.
