📢 New manuscript alert!
#DRAIGONEU consortium members have published a paper exploring the quality and performance of DNA isolated from #MDR #pathogens using commercially available kits
What could this mean in the fight against #AMR ?

What bedside test do I think all healthcare providers should perform at every #parkinsons visit? 'The pull test for retropulsion,' Think of how many #falls we could 'prevent' if we performed the test and took appropriate action. Nice video from Dr. Doshi.
