Washington [US], February 26 (ANI): A team led by researchers of Johns Hopkins University has developed a test to determine if bacteria are sick, similar to the one used to test humans for COVID-19.
The findings published in Nature Microbiology highlighted that the pandemic has made clear the threat that some viruses pose to people. But viruses can also infect life-sustaining bacteria. If there was a COVID-like pandemic occurring in important bacterial populations it would be difficult to tell because, before this study, we lacked the affordable and accurate tools necessary to study viral infections in uncultured bacterial populations, said study corresponding author Sarah Preheim, a Johns Hopkins assistant professor of environmental health and engineering.
