Rapid test against resistant germs / 2025
Fraunhofer researchers develop innovative diagnostics for detecting antibiotic resistance in bacterial infections

The rapid increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria is one of the most pressing challenges facing global health. A new transatlantic Fraunhofer research project aims to counter these threats with an innovative diagnostic approach: a microfluidic rapid test system using carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) will make bacterial resistance visible in just a few minutes, significantly faster than conventional methods.
