Title : Fast Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing based on single cell growth rate measurements
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a global threat to human health. The problem is aggravated by unnecessary and incorrect use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. One way to provide correct treatment and to slow down the development of antibiotic resistance is to assay the susceptibility profile of the infecting bacteria before treatment is initiated and let this informatio...
متن کاملSingle cell antimicrobial susceptibility testing by confined microchannels and electrokinetic loading.
Multidrug-resistant pathogens are an emerging global health problem. In addition to the need of developing new antibiotics in the pipeline, the ability to rapidly determine the antibiotic resistance profiles of bacteria represents one of the most crucial steps toward the management of infectious diseases and the prevention of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Here, we report a single cell antimicr...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility testing in less than 30 min using direct single-cell imaging.
The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are aggravated by incorrect prescription and use of antibiotics. A core problem is that there is no sufficiently fast diagnostic test to guide correct antibiotic prescription at the point of care. Here, we investigate if it is possible to develop a point-of-care susceptibility test for urinary tract infection, a disease that 100 million ...
متن کاملThe importance of growth kinetic analysis in determining bacterial susceptibility against antibiotics and silver nanoparticles
Routine antibiotics susceptibility testing still relies on standardized cultivation-based analyses, including measurement of inhibition zones in conventional agar diffusion tests and endpoint turbidity-based measurements. Here, we demonstrate that common off-line monitoring and endpoint determination after 18-24 h could be insufficient for reliable growth-dependent evaluation of antibiotic susc...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility Testing of the Gram-Negative Bacteria Based on Flow Cytometry
Rapidly treating infections with adequate antibiotics is of major importance. This requires a fast and accurate determination of the antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial pathogens. The most frequently used methods are slow because they are based on the measurement of growth inhibition. Faster methods, such as PCR-based detection of determinants of antibiotic resistance, do not always provide ...
