Antibiotic resistence is a growing global concern and major threat to human health.
The standard method used to detect resistance in bacteria, known as phenotypic antibiotic sensitivity testing, monitors bacterial growth over about 12 – 24 hours and is therefore a slow process. New rapid methods for antibiotic sensitivity testing are urgently needed to improve antibiotic stewardship.
Congratulation to i-sense PhD student, Isabel Bennett, who won the presentation prize at the UCL Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Network Event, which took place on 26 July.
