Synopsis
These biomarkers are different messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules found in the blood; differences in their levels can detect and predict with high probability if an infection is viral or bacterial.

A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has identified a set of molecular biomarkers that can help with differential diagnosis of acute bacterial and viral infections. The researchers expect it to be useful early on during an infection, work against any strain, and can supplement the current Covid-19 diagnosis tests.

As COVID-19 stands as a grim testimony to the damage an infectious disease can cause to human health and welfare, a major challenge in treating such diseases is misdiagnosis, which can lead to trial-and-error treatments, and improper use of antibiotics. Identifying the correct type of infection, is, therefore critical.
A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has identified a set of molecular biomarkers that can be used in the differential diagnosis of acute bacterial and viral infections.
According to an IISc release, these biomarkers are different messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules found in the blood. Differences in their levels can detect and predict with high probability if an infection is viral or bacterial.

Bengaluru, May 17 : Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science and clinicians from M.S. Ramaiah Medical College teamed up to identify a set of molecular biomarkers that can be used in differential diagnosis of acute bacterial and viral infections.
This new study is published in EBioMedicine, a journal that publishes research works of translational biomedical research world over.
According to this journal, the researchers have developed a test using patient blood transcriptomes and sophisticated computational modelling. A transcriptome is a full set of mRNA molecules expressed by a biological cell, and measured using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies. During an infection, specific genes get turned on and these, in turn, lead
