<p>A new analysis method can detect pathogens in blood samples faster and more accurately than blood cultures, which are the current state of the art for infection diagnosis. The new method, called digital DNA melting analysis, can produce results in under six hours, whereas culture typically requires 15 hours to several days, depending on the pathogen.</p>
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, led by Michael Mitchell, are now breaking through the blood-brain barrier, a long-standing biological barrier.
