The Stavropol Research Anti-Plague Institute (SNIPCHI) of Rospotrebnadzor has developed a new magnetic material that will help quickly and effectively find tularemia bacteria in the environment, Rospotrebnadzor reports.
We are talking about a magnetic immunosorbent, which will help detect dangerous microorganisms in water and soil.
The material contains microscopic magnetic particles that effectively capture tularemia bacteria during environmental studies. The unique technology allows detecting extremely low concentrations of bacteria, a thousand times smaller compared to traditional methods. This significantly increases the accuracy of diagnosis.
Rapid and accurate detection of the tularemia pathogen will become an important tool for preventing outbreaks of the disease and preserving human health.
Tularemia is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. It affects the lymph nodes, skin, eyes, oral cavity, lungs, intestines, and other organs.
