Rapid versus standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing to guide treatment of bloodstream infection. [PDF]

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility tests are expected to reduce the time to clinically important results of a blood culture. This might enable clinicians to better target therapy to a person's needs, and thereby, improve health outcomes ...

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 ...

Susceptibility Testing by Volatile Organic Compound Detection Direct from Positive Blood Cultures: A Proof-of-Principle Laboratory Study

Antibiotics, 2022
Background: Bacteria produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during growth, which can be detected by colorimetric sensor arrays (CSAs). The SpecifAST® system (Specific Diagnostics) employs this technique to enable antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)

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.
