Article Synopsis
- Global efforts to detect diseases of poverty face challenges due to expensive detection methods and low levels of microbial DNA in samples, leading to inefficient healthcare use.
- This study adapted molecular inversion probes (MIPs) for a cost-effective way to enrich and analyze microbial infections from blood samples, targeting various bacteria and fungi as well as antimicrobial resistance markers.
- The method demonstrated high specificity and accuracy, identifying pathogens in most samples without complex preparations or data analysis, making it suitable for health settings with limited resources.
