Tiny sensors, similar to breathalyzers, could “sniff out” bacterial infections and detect antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in bodily fluids, says a team of engineers, microbiologists, and machine learning experts in an opinion paper published in Cell Biomaterials. Developing this technology could provide affordable and rapid diagnostic tests, which would improve treatment plans and help combat antibiotic resistance.
