This lecture explains the dangers of the Zika virus, particularly for pregnant women, and introduces a rapid test paper for detecting the virus using urine samples. The test paper utilizes nanoparticles and IgM molecules to capture the virus, providing a cost-effective and efficient method for Zika detection. Additionally, the lecture discusses a novel concept for measuring bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics using a microfluidic device, which can quickly determine the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
