Molecular diagnostics are revolutionising the clinical practice of infectious disease. Their
effects will be significant in acute-care settings where timely and accurate diagnostic tools …

Biomedical engineers have traditionally developed technologies in response to the needs of
the developed world's medical community. As a result, the diagnostic systems on which they …

Infection with Campylobacter jejuni is now considered to be the most common cause of
acute bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. It occurs more frequently than infections …

Endodontic infections have been traditionally studied by culture-dependent methods.
However, as with other areas of clinical microbiology, culture-based investigations are …

Antimicrobials show selective toxicity. Suitable targets for antimicrobials to act at include the
