Possible New Test for CWD

MIP researchers are developing and evaluating a more sensitive test for chronic wasting disease – including the potential to test for infection in live animals, animal products and the environment.​

Bacterial Suicide and Antibiotic Resistance

MIP researchers have found the organism that causes melioidosis can become resistant to the antibiotic most commonly used to treat it by mutating in a way scientists have never seen before.​
