Detecting Levels Of Antibiotics In Blood Paves The Way To Individualized Treatment, University of Cambridge, London Centre for Nanotechnology, And University of Queensland Study

A new methodology for rapidly measuring the level of antibiotic drug molecules in human blood serum has been developed, paving the way to applications within drug development and personalised medicine. The study, published today in Nature Nanotechnology, describes the exploitation of a sensor for measuring the concentration of effective antibiotics in blood, giving an indication of their efficiency against disease causing pathogens, for instance multidrug resistant hospital "superbugs".
