| Bringing Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) to the Community Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) is a technique that allows physicians to discriminate between infections caused by drug-sensitive/or resistant bacteria and prescribe the appropriate antibiotic treatment needed for specific patients; but unfortunately, it is mostly practiced in clinical laboratories in hospitals and to less extent at the community level. In this interview, Dr. Ester Segal discusses the development of a 2D silicon microarray on-chip device for rapid diagnostic susceptability testing of bacteria and fungi.

| | Bis-(3´-5´)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a soluble molecule that functions as a secondary messenger in bacterial cells. One effector of C-di-GMP signaling is RNA, which acts as a riboswitch (an RNA regulatory element that alters the expression profile of the cell). | | | | Infections with a Human Papillomavirus cause 99 percent of cervical cancer cases, and the disease's first sign is often the appearance of precancerous lesions on a woman's cervix. But bacteria may play an important role, too. | | | | The microbiome in our intestine plays a vital role in people's health and the immune system. Any lack of balance there has not only been linked to chronic inflammatory intestinal inflammation, but also type 2 diabetes and other diseases | | | | Microbial forensics refers to the investigation of the use of bioweapon, and the accidental release or natural development of dangerous microorganisms. | |
