A new test developed by researchers at McMaster University uses a novel technology to find bacteria in liquids and indicate their presence by changing color. This innovation promises to make diagnostic testing much more accessible and significantly enhance food safety. It effectively changes color in the presence of notorious bacteria like E. coli and listeria, which are commonly tested. This test employs harmless bacteriophages embedded within the gel to target bacteria in fluid samples, including lake water, urine, or milk.
