The Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance
There are potentially billions of different types of bacteria, and they’re found almost everywhere. Some are friends while others are foes. Studies show that kitchen sponges contain 45 billion bacteria per square centimeter. Another study suggests that your desktop has 400 times more bacteria than your toilet seat. And did you know that the average […]

Battling Antimicrobial Resistance
When an antibiotic treatment regimen is not successfully completed by a patient, the surviving bacteria have encountered the evolutionary pressure of the antibiotics that killed off a majority of their weaker population. These surviving, stronger bacteria are able to persist and continue growing inside the patient, eventually becoming strong enough to again cause symptoms. Because […]

Should I Be Concerned About Tuberculosis?
In August 2025, new tuberculosis cases have been detected in Northern California and Washington, prompting concern for those infected and about its possible further spread in those communities. But should you be concerned? Previously in January 2025, an ongoing tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas became one of the largest outbreaks in U.S. history, dating back […]

Agnostic Detection Challenges and Opportunities
Because of the importance of speed in responding to emerging public health threats, agnostic detection can play an important role in strengthening surveillance globally. While traditional detection techniques are target specific, agnostic detection methods are unbiased approaches that can surveil the environment to detect a broad range of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, […]

The Power of Agnostic Detection
In cases of infectious disease outbreaks or emerging antimicrobial resistance, time is critical and waiting to identify a pathogen using traditional target specific methods could mean losing valuable response time and efficacy. Further, agnostic detection methods such as metagenomic sequencing analyze all of the genetic material in a sample, enabling the detection of unknown or […]

Agnostic Detection Methods for Pathogens
New infectious disease pathogens are emerging at an unprecedented rate and global travel allows them to spread faster than ever before. In fact, several new viruses, possibly thousands of new bacteria, and approximately 2,500 new fungi are discovered each year. Pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and the SARS-CoV-2 virus have […]

MRIGlobal Tests First Non-EUA Flu and COVID-19 Diagnostic
CDC estimates that since 2010, except for the 2020-2021 flu season, flu has resulted in between 9 million and 41 million illnesses annually in the United States. Its symptoms can include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, and runny nose. And since it was first reported in March 2020, COVID-19 has totaled more than 104 million […]
