Rapid Colorimetric Assay for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
ABSTRACT A colorimetric assay based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt {2,3-bis[2-methyloxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT)} for rapidly determining the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to bactericidal antibiotics is described.

Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility tests for sepsis; the road ahead
Current methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) are too slow to affect initial treatment decisions in the early stages of sepsis, when the prescriber is most concerned to select effective therapy immediately, rather than finding out what will not work 1 or 2 days later.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrheae strains in three regions of Armenia [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: There are no data available on gonococcal susceptibility in the Caucasus region. We aimed to determine in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrheae in Armenia in order to update the national treatment protocol.

Rapid identification of respiratory bacterial pathogens from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in cattle by MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]
Respiratory tract infections are a major health problem and indication for antimicrobial use in cattle and in humans. Currently, most antimicrobial treatments are initiated without microbiological results, holding the risk of inappropriate first ...

Progress on the development of rapid methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]
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 ...

A Cell Phone–Based Microphotometric System for Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing [PDF]
This study demonstrates a low-cost, portable diagnostic system for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing in resource-limited settings. To determine the antimicrobial resistance phenotypically, the growth of pathogens in microwell arrays is detected under different antibiotic conditions.
