Today, researchers have discovered a new method to quickly detect the deadly hospital pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii is a bacteria that is commonly found in hospitals and can cause a wide range of infections, from pneumonia to bloodstream infections. This new method uses a method called ‘electrochemical impedance spectroscopy’, which is a technique that uses electrical signals to detect the presence of A. baumannii. This method is much faster than traditional methods, which can take up to 24 hours, and is more accurate as well. This new method can detect A. baumannii in just 10 minutes, making it an invaluable tool for quickly diagnosing and treating patients who are infected with this dangerous pathogen.
