Deskripsi

Culture-based diagnostic methods for microorganism detection are time-consuming but still the gold standard for conditions such as sepsis. Here the authors present an amplification and purification-free method to detect microorganisms in bodily fluids with high sensitivity: Single MOLecule Tethering (SMOLT).
