Examples of Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing Methods - 0 views

  •  
    There are several different ways to test antibiotic resistance. The category is Diffusion methods. About 1mil of a solution is used and bacteria growth is observed. The second is Disk diffusion method which uses an agar plate. The antibiotic is placed in a ring outside the bacteria and if the bacteria grows outside of the ring it is resistant to the antibiotic, if it doesn't the antibiotic works. There are other methods such as the E-Test, which involves a plastic strip and varying strengths of an antibiotic; Genotypic Methods, which allows testing for a specific mutation; and other more expensive methods of testing.

Researchers identify genetic mutation for rare cancer | University of Michigan Comprehe... - 0 views

    A woman with a solitary fibrous cancer, the cancer is only seen a couple hundred times a year, was enrolled MI-ONCOSEQ which led to the discovery of the mutation that causes this cancer. Researchers at University of Michigan ran the tumors genome and identified a mutations. The mutation was unusual, a fusion between two genes, NAB2 and STAT6. Normally mutation are identified because of the they are seen over and over again. However, in this woman's case, there were no known mutations, so scientists looked at what had changed. Then 51 other samples of solitary fibrous tumors were tested for the mutation; all of them tested positive for the mutation. The NAB2-STAT6 fusion may prove hard to treat with target therapy, but scientists may be able to disrupt its growth cycle which leads to this fusion. More research still needs to be done to determine ways in which the knowledge of this mutations can be applied, but for now it is a great start at tackling these rare tumors.

New plan of attack in cancer fight: Two-drug combination, under certain circumstances, ... - 0 views

  •  
    Big new break through in the steps to curing cancer. Harvard Scientist have found a new drug combination that stops the growth of cancer and could be the answer to curing all cancer. Although the research isn't the cure from cancer its the start that is needed to find cancer. In order for the two drugs to work they must be given together. The two drug combination could possible cure most types of cancer but for some it could spell disaster.
