Electrical Broth Micro-Dilution for Rapid Antibiotic Resistance Testing [PDF]
Rapid tests to assess the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics are required to inform antibiotic stewardship. We have developed a novel test, which measures changes in the impedance of a 100 nanoliter volume of bacterial suspension to determine an ...

Retrospective analysis of Vitek®2 performance compared to manual broth micro-dilution for colistin susceptibility testing of Acinetobacter baumanniicomplex isolates in South Africa [PDF]
The manual broth micro-dilution (mBMD) is the recommended reference method for colistin minimum inhibitory concentration determination; however, it is not as readily available in South Africa as the Vitek®2.

Influence of broth dilution on the disruption of Escherichia coli
The effect of cell concentration (5 to 150 g/L wet wt after broth dilution) on homogenizer disruption efficiency and homogenate viscosity is reported for E. coli. Broth dilution increases homogenizer efficiency and decreases feed and homogenate viscosity.
