Antibiotic susceptibility testing using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
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 ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Assessment of Pathogenic Potential, Virulent Genes Profile, and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Proteus mirabilis from Urinary Tract Infection

International Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Proteus mirabilis is the third most common bacterium that can cause complicated UTI, especially in catheterized patients. Urovirulence genes of P. mirabilis strains are poorly identified among UTI patients. The aims of the present study were to determine

Elastomeric Micro‐Balloons for Remote Control of Cerebral Blood Flow and Real‐Time In vivo Imaging of Rodent Brain Response to Hypoperfusion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the fabrication of MRI‐compatible elastomeric micro‐balloons via a multi‐step bubble casting process, where the monolithic elastomeric wall is selectively stiffened for reversible and controlled inflation and elasticity, depending on the target vessels for graded occlusion of cerebral arteries.

Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobes Isolated from Clinical Specimens: A Study Re-emphasizing Role of the Neglected Bacteria Causing Significant Infections

JK Science, 2021
Background: Anaerobic bacteria cause significant human infections but isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of these bacteria in routine microbiology is given least importance. Because of neglect towards this branch of microbiology,

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011
There are few activities in the clinical microbiology laboratory that utilize more technologist time and laboratory resources than antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). It has been suggested that, at least in terms of direct relevance to the care of patients with infection, AST may be ...
