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 ...

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing in pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms: One step closer to a standardized method [PDF]

, 2020
The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to form biofilm during a long-term infection makes it difficult to treat patients correctly. The current clinical antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods are based on the study of planktonic strains.

Novel electronic biosensor for automated inoculum preparation to accelerate antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Scientific Reports, 2021
A key predictor of morbidity and mortality for patients with a bloodstream infection is time to appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Accelerating antimicrobial susceptibility testing from positive blood cultures is therefore key to improving patient ...
