"Discovery of 35 New Bacteria Species in Hospital Patients"

Swiss researchers have genetically sequenced dozens of previously unknown bacterial species in patient samples, identifying 35 new species out of 61 found. Some of these bacteria are considered clinically relevant and capable of causing disease, highlighting the importance of identifying novel organisms. The team's algorithm, NOVA, aims to expedite the detection and analysis of unknown microbes, potentially aiding in future research and discoveries in bacteriology.
