With the aid of the Wyss Institute's FcMBL broad-spectrum pathogen capture technology, researchers have redesigned the procedure for identifying microorganisms in blood samples from paediatric sepsis patients.
Accurate pathogen detection can now be conducted in small blood samples much faster than before. As per research conducted by the GOSH Institute, Sepsis patients could benefit greatly from this acceleration in pathogen detection.
The human microbiome has been a hot topic over the last decade, with research pointing to disrupted bacterial communities as culprits for a host of maladies including irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, and autoimmune diseases. Most studies have focused on the microbiome within the human gut, but there is growing recognition that another oft-ignored bacterial community deserves equal attention - that found in the vagina.
