Direct analysis of urine delivers antibiotic resistance results up to 24 hours earlier

New method accelerates resistance testing in urinary tract infections

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for diagnosing urinary tract infections that significantly accelerates antibiotic resistance testing in urine. Because the procedure does not require labor-intensive pre-cultivation of bacteria – as is standard practice – results on antibiotic effectiveness are available one day earlier. Conventional laboratory analyses require two to three days. The new approach provides the foundation for a home-use rapid test.

Start-up Hula Earth is growing

Monitoring biodiversity in the long term

Using satellite data and bird calls to determine biodiversity: that was the idea behind the launch of start-up Hula Earth two years ago. Today more than 80 small high-tech boxes are installed in the outdoors, constantly collecting data and transmitting it to the company headquarters. Project developers for moorland restoration, solar parks and nature conservation associations are already using the service.
