Conventional approaches to bacterial identification and drug susceptibility testing typically
rely on culture-based approaches that take 2 to 7 days to return results. The long turnaround …

Rapid bacterial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) are in great
demand due to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. Conventional culture-based AST methods …

In the face of looming threats from multi-drug resistant microorganisms, there is a growing
need for technologies that will enable rapid identification and drug susceptibility profiling of …

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern, posing a significant threat to the
effectiveness of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections. The accurate and timely detection …

Bacterial infections continue to pose serious public health challenges. Though anti-bacterial
therapeutics are effective remedies for treating these infections, the emergence of antibiotic …

Background Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is classically performed using growth-
based techniques that essentially require viable bacterial matter to become visible to the …

Bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance are a major cause for morbidity and
mortality worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance often arises from antimicrobial misuse, where …

Fast, robust, and affordable antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is required, as roughly
50% of antibiotic treatments are started with wrong antibiotics and without a proper …

Effective treatment of clinical infections is critically dependent on the ability to rapidly screen
patient samples to identify antibiograms of infecting pathogens. Existing methods for …

Introduction Until recently antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods based on the
demonstration of phenotypic susceptibility in 16–24 h remained largely unchanged. Areas …
