Unique Gene Detects Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Clinical Sputum

Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The main organ infected by MTB is the lung, but many other tissues or organs can be affected, such as the bone and pleura. Two million people die of MTB infection each year due to poor quality of life and lack of awareness. More...

Whole-Genome Sequencing Applied to Acutely Ill Infants

Critically ill infants admitted to an intensive care unit are at risk for high levels of morbidity and mortality. In the USA, approximately 400,000 newborns are admitted to a neonatal ICU annually, costing at least USD 26 billion and accounting for up to 50% of the total national pediatric health care expenditure. More...
