A great threat to public health is the increase in antibiotic resistance. Pathogens that were thought to be concurred are re-emerging. Rapid molecular testing is an important tool in dealing with the challenges posed by antibiotic resistance. Assays that quickly identify not only the cause of an infection and relevant resistance markers. @ https://www.biosciencetechnology.com/article/2017/11/rapid-diagnostics-are-essential-battle-against-drug-resistance

ARS researchers discovered that some roosters have a strong immune response and suggest to use them to selectively breed a more robust flock, that can fight better food pathogens. @ http://www.poultryworld.net/Genetics/Articles/2017/11/Breeding-resistant-chickens-for-improved-safety-205557E/
Hopes are high that a new test developed by US scientists could make it easier to breed pathogen-resistant chickens.
