UK scientists develop DNA sequencing system to fight superbugs

Exclusive: Sequencing will help doctors identify bacteria that cause infections and offer effective treatments faster and more accurately

Scientists have developed a rapid DNA sequencing system to stem the rise of superbugs by identifying bacterial infections faster and more accurately.

Currently, hospital labs can take as long as seven days to specify bacterial infections, while for some infections a definitive diagnosis may take eight weeks.
