A new bacteria scanning device has arrived.‘Scanner technologies rely upon specific types of chemical compounds called receptors that bind to biological material including microbes, viruses and nucleic acids found within cells. With the arrival of antibiotic resistance strains, scientists must start thinking of alternatives to combat infectious diseases.One solution could lie in identifying and treating bacterial infections earlier before drug resistant organisms develop, for instance using technology to detect new species of microorganisms. New technologies always bring some problems along with benefits.Although bacterial diseases continue to pose significant threats to humans, research shows that we are beginning to see improvements in ways to combat them.As soon as a disease becomes resistant to antibiotics, the situation worsens again.The recent invention of DNA scanners solves this issue and allows scientists to identify and find out about specific bacterium infections before symptoms arise, thus providing a solution with Hydra.
