Development of a simple rapid test kit for the early diagnosis of enterpatogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in children with diarrhoea (360G-Wellcome-084590_Z_07_Z)

£423,290

Translation award support has been given to Professor Peter Williams and Dr Uta Praekelt to develop a rapid EPEC diagnostic kit for use in health centres in developing countries where resources and personnel are limited. By testing all children with diarrhoea, those with EPEC can be identified quickly and subsequently receive appropriate treatment, reducing the likelihood of long lasting clinical complications.
