A Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test for Bacillus anthracis [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010 ABSTRACT An effective public health response to a deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis will require a rapid distribution of antimicrobial agents for postexposure prophylaxis and treatment. However, conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing for B. anthracis requires a 16-

Progress on the development of rapid methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2013 Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is essential for guiding the treatment of many types of bacterial infections, especially in the current context of rising rates of antibiotic resistance. The most commonly employed methods rely on the detection of phenotypic resistance by measuring bacterial growth in the presence of the antibiotic being tested ...

Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Using Tetrazolium Reduction [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1979 A rapid method of antimicrobial susceptibility testing has been developed, which uses a modified microdilution procedure and an inoculum of 10 7 bacteria per ml. Results are determined within 4 h with an indicator consisting of 2( p -iodophenyl)-3( p -nitrophenyl)-5 ...
