Medical News . Researchers from the University of Florida have developed a new, more sensitive method, which helps to detect pathogens that trigger inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease.
New technology-based nanoparticles can also be used to detect other microbes that are difficult to recognize: they are hidden deep in the tissues and are able to "reprogram" the cells so the immune system could not identify them and destroy them.

To understand what kind of damage can cause these "hidden" bacteria the body, it is enough to recall tuberculosis. Modern methods of testing, of course, allow the identification of this disease, but still takes too long for an accurate diagnosis. Naturally, in this case, the question of timely and effective treatment is not, as the process of identifying microbes may take several months.
Professors of the University of Florida, J. Manuel Perez and Nasser Saleh and his research group have developed a method of using nanoparticles coated with DNA markers specific for latent pathogens. The technique is effective and is more accurate than the methods known today. More importantly, the procedure takes a few hours instead of weeks or months.
