Nanomotion Detection-Based Rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
Rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) could play a major role in fighting multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recently, it was discovered that all living organisms oscillate in the range of nanometers and that these oscillations, referred to as ...

Antibiotic treatment and susceptibility testing [PDF]
A 60 year old tale The concept of attacking invading microorganisms without harming the host was first introduced by Paul Ehrlich. In 1910 he discovered “salvarsan”, which he announced as a magic bullet for the treatment of syphilis. Penicillin, produced by the fungus, Penicillium notatum , was first discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, purified ...
