ScienceCRISPR nanodroplet test reportedly distinguishes 15 nontuberculous mycobacteria species in 3.5 hours
Science says the test can distinguish species in clinical samples while avoiding the long culture times that have limited mycobacteria testing.
TLDR
Science reports that a CRISPR-based nanodroplet test can distinguish 15 species of nontuberculous mycobacteria in clinical samples in 3.5 hours, avoiding lengthy culture times. It also describes the test as enabling identification at the subspecies level.
