AB Detection and identification of bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens that are both rapid and accurate are important in curbing infections. The days-long growth-based detection and identification procedures have been reduced to hours and even minutes. Nuclear detection techniques and detection of real-time nanoscale changes in susceptible bacteria hold promise.
