Progress on the development of rapid methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Abstract: 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. Although these methods are highly sensitive for the detection of resistance, they require that the bacterial pathogen is isolated from the clinical sample before te… Show more

“…41,42 Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. is the only of these in clinical trials for direct, phenotypic susceptibility testing of bacteria in positive blood culture broths. The Accelerate method utilizes digital microscopy of immobilized live bacteria present in blood cultures to both identify (via fluorescent in-situ hybridization probes) and perform susceptibility (via observation of bacteria growth or inhibition in the presence of antimicrobials).…”

“…The other strategy is the application of novel techniques such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, PCR-based techniques, microarrays, and microfluidics [7]. The QMAC-dRAST system detects the response of individual bacteria to antimicrobials by time-lapse microscopic observation and image analysis of micro-colony formation at the various concentrations of antimicrobial agents [13].…”

“…In most of These conventional AST methods require relatively longer turnaround time (TAT) due to preceding preparation procedures including blood culture, Gram stain and overnight subculture onto solid medium of flagged positive culture samples [6]. For reducing TAT, various researchers have tried to directly process the positive blood culture (PBC) samples without subculture involving overnight culture [7]. AST methods utilizing direct inoculation from PBC had previously been reported with significant agreement rates compared to reference methods [8,9].…”

“…The goal of ASPs is to optimize appropriate antimicrobial treatment, thereby reducing adverse outcomes (19)(20)(21) and preventing further antimicrobial resistance. Technologies have evolved to address these needs, and they include not only molecular methods but also methods based on the use of microfluidics, cell lysis detection, mass spectrometry, rapid cytometry, isothermal microcalorimetry, and magnetic bead rotation, among others (22)(23)(24)(25). Forward laser light scatter (FLLS) is another promising emerging technology that depends on electro-optical technology to measure bacterial growth prior to visual assessment.…”
