How to accelerate antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2019
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results are crucial for timely administration of effective antimicrobial treatment, and, thus, should be made available to clinicians as fast as possible. In particular, increasing rates of multidrug-resistant organisms emphasize the need for rapid AST (rAST).This article aims to provide microbiologists and ...

Instrumentation in antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2001
Abstract Studies in the 1960s demonstrated the problems of variability in susceptibility testing methods, especially those affecting the performance of disc diffusion procedures. These studies made apparent the need for standardization and resulted in more clearly defined performance limits for growth medium, incubation conditions ...
