    Sounds hopeful, Spiffy. We’ll have to watch for the specificity and sensitivity results of this test’s trials. My guess is that it will yield similar results to PCR testing, which is highly specific (if DNA positive, there is no doubt the bug is present) but not as sensitive (reliant on a piece of the organism being present in a small sample). Fingers crossed!
