"The proposed project aims to evaluate the technical, clinical, and commercial value of LIG Biowise's developed technology (R-ID) to assist diagnosis and management of urine tract infections (UTI) at the point of care (POC), where high proportion of UTI affected patients is treated. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are very common infections, affecting arou...

Infectious diseases are one of the major causes of global morbidity and mortality, resulting in 16.2% of deaths per year. Currently, there is no fast diagnostic tool available to detect and identify the different pathogens responsible for the most common infections, which leads to unnecessary prescription of antibiotics and the subsequent development of d...

The accuracy and sensitivity of a molecular diagnostic method is dependent of the efficient extraction of nucleic acids and absence of amplification inhibitors in the reaction mixture. Bacterial DNA/RNA extraction usually requires enzymatic, physical or chemical cell lysis, which is especially critical when working with Gram + bacteria. DNA/RNA purificati...

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles have gained popularity for use in medical devices, washing powders and water treatments largely due to the emergence of resistant bacteria (superbugs) and the resultant reduction in the effective number of available treatments. However concerns have been raised due to the high concentrations required including the lack of availab...

Nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant microorganisms such as MRSA and P.aeruginosa are observed frequently in hospital settings; resulting in serious public health problems. The most pressing concern is that they are becoming resistant to almost all antibiotics available at the present time. Nanomedicine offers new possibilities including fe...
