Innovative and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health worldwide, and the rapid detection and quantification of resistance, combined with antimicrobial stewardship, are key interventions to combat the spread and emergence of AMR. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) systems are the collective set of diagnostic processes that facilitate ...

EUCAST rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) in blood cultures: validation in 55 European laboratories. [PDF]

J Antimicrob Chemother, 2020
AbstractObjectivesWhen bloodstream infections are caused by resistant bacteria, rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) is important for adjustment of therapy. The EUCAST RAST method, directly from positive blood cultures, was validated in a multi-laboratory study in Europe.MethodsRAST was performed in 40 laboratories in northern Europe (NE ...

Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Using Forward Laser Light Scatter Technology. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2016
ABSTRACT The delayed reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility testing remains a limiting factor in clinical decision-making in the treatment of bacterial infection. This study evaluates the use of forward laser light scatter (FLLS) to measure bacterial growth for the early determination of antimicrobial susceptibility.

Recent Advances in Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2021
AbstractBackgroundAntimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is classically performed using growth-based techniques that essentially require viable bacterial matter to become visible to the naked eye or a sophisticated densitometer.ContentTechnologies based on the measurement of bacterial density in suspension have evolved marginally in accuracy and ...
