Denver Health Medical Center has received a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the antibiotic-resistant "superbug" CRE, the cause of a recent lethal outbreak spread at UCLA Medical Center by difficult-to-clean medical scopes. Denver Health and Accelerate Diagnostics were awarded the grant to develop a fast and reliable diagnostic test to detect common bacteria directly from blood - and to determine antibiotic susceptibility - all within a few hours.
