Antimicrobial resistance is due to genetic changes that allow bacteria to evade antibiotic treatment. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is critical for the detection of antibiotic-resistant strains, the selection of effective therapeutic strategies ag
Susceptibility testing is usually ordered at the same time as a culture of a potentially infected site, such as a wound, urine, or blood culture. However, the test will usually only be performed when the culture is positive for one or more pathogens. The test may also be ordered when an...
Antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) is another broad category of microbe test that depends on the growth and metabolism of live bacteria. From:Biosensors and Bioelectronics,2023 About this page Add to MendeleySet alert Chapters and Articles ...
Chi-Hung Lin4, Po-Ren Hsueh6, Juen-Kai Wang5,7 &Yuh-Lin Wang5,8 Rapid bacterial antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement are important to help reduce the widespread misuse of antibiotics and alleviate the growing drug-resistance problem...
System for validation and interpretation of test results in antibiotic sensitivity testing of microorganismsThe invention concerns a method for analysing results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests of micro-organisms, the test consisting in summarily identifying which species the micro-organism belongs to ...

Antibiotic susceptibility is defined as the sensitivity of a bacteria to antibiotics and can be measured using a broth dilution test or an Epsilometer test, also called an E-test. In the broth dilution method, a standardized number of bacteria are added to a growth media containing serial antib...
They may also prove to be imprecise in antibiotic susceptibility prediction in case of resistant bacteria, especially in context of β-lactamase producers [44, 45]. This is because even if the presence of a resistance factor results in altered MICs or disk diffusion diameters, interpretation can ...
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) that can provide faster results is necessary. The MALDI Biotyper antibiotic susceptibility test rapid assay (MBT-ASTRA) can provide early AST results but still needs to be simplified in order to facilitate its execution by microbiology laboratories. The aim of...
Therefore, impedance data interpretation normally requires complex circuit modeling taking into considerations geometric and electrical parameters of bacterial cells, electrode surface conditions, and their surrounding microfluidic channel. Live bacterial cells require energy to maintain transmembrane ionic gradients...
