Affordable automated phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing method based on a contactless conductometric sensor

a method for antibiotic susceptibility testing: applicable and accurate

New method for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

The most widely used method for routine antibiotic susceptibility testing of clinical isolates of bacteria is the paper-disc method. This has the advantage of simplicity, but to obtain reliable results considerable care is required both in the standardization of the procedure and in the interpretation of the zones of inhibition. A new susceptibility test method is described in this report which...

Rapid Phenotypic Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Through RNA Detection

Antibiotic susceptibility testing by a standardized single disk method.

In the words of the authors, the paper by A. W. Bauer et al., from the University of Washington in Seattle, on a standardized single-disk method for antibiotic susceptibility testing “. . . consolidate(s) and update(s) previous descriptions of the method and provide(s) a concise outline for its performance and interpretation.” Clinical microbiologists were relieved that finally a disk diffusion...

Design and fabrication of a rapid conductometric pH sensor based on metal-oxide technology

A micro-fabricated metal-oxide based conductometric pH sensor is designed and fabricated in this manuscript. pH sensors have applications in various areas from farming to food processing, human health monitoring, industrial waste products investigation, etc. Accordingly, there is a relatively high demand for a reliable, rapid and precise pH sensor in the market. Relatively precise pH sensors ha...
