3D Printed Smartphone Attachment Tests for Antimicrobial Resistance

One of the most frightening threats to public health is one that has been growing for a long time: antimicrobial and antibiotic resistance. The evolving resistance of dangerous bacteria to antimicrobials has the potential to render some of our best defenses against infectious diseases ineffective, leaving us vulnerable to "superbugs" and pandemics. But researchers at UCLA have come up with an ingenious device that uses an ordinary smartphone - with a few add-ons - to test antibiotic drugs for antimicrobial susceptibility in areas with limited or no access to resources such as labs, testing equipment and trained diagnostic technicians.
