Microbial VOC Fingerprints: Rapid Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance in Pathogenic Bacteria
Abstract
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that at minimum, 2 million people in the United States are infected with antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria, resulting in 23,000 deaths each year. With no projected decrease in the number of deaths and the evergrowing threat of multi‐drug resistant bacteria, the development of a rapid and accurate diagnostic test is crucial, not only to reduce the burden on the public healthcare system, but to save countless lives.
