Rapid phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing using nanoliter arrays [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017
Significance Antibiotic resistance is fueled by antibiotic misuse and has become a major global health concern. The phenomenon warrants improved diagnostics that can more rapidly and efficiently elucidate information about the infectious agent to aid in establishing a more targeted and knowledge-based treatment regimen.
