A group of scientists from the Institute of Ecology and the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Mexico (UNAM), have created a membrane capable of simultaneously detecting numerous organisms in water or food that cause diarrhea and intestinal problems. This health problem kills 760,000 children under the age of five annually, according to the World Health Organization.
