Abstract:Early detection of drug resistance contributes to combating drug-resistant bacteria and improving patient outcomes. Microbial testing in the laboratory is essential for treating infectious diseases because it can provide critical information related to identifying pathogenic bacteria and their resistance profiles. Despite these clinical requirements, conventional phenotypic testing is time-consuming. In addition, recent rapid drug resistance tests are not compatible with fastidious bacteria such as Streptococc… Show more
