Methods for Anticipating Antibiotic Sensitivity in Bacteria Released from Biofilm Residence
TS-002176 — In order to effectively treat bacterial infections, a clear understanding of the bacterium’s antibiotic sensitivity is needed. Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Center for Microbial Pathogenesis created a new method to assist in prescribing antibiotics for infections caused by a biofilm to reduce the dosage and the length of antibiotic treatments.
Depending on the bacteria’s physiologic state the antibiotic sensitivity can be highly variable. Originally, bacteria were believed to exist in two physiologic states: planktonic and biofilm. However, the research team based their methods on two additional but transient physiologic states they…

TS-000182 — Non-invasive immunization against bacterial diseases of the respiratory tract to prevent or resolve infections
Non-invasive immunization tends to be more cost effective and has increased compliance compared to invasive vaccination methods making it ideal for both the developed and developing world. Researchers at Nationwide Children's have developed a method of immunizing against bacterial diseases of th…
