Methods for Rapid Evaluation of Microbial Antibiotics Resistance
摘要
Antibiotic resistance is a major challenge for public health systems worldwide. Rapid and effective identification of bacterial strains is critical for reducing the use of antibiotics and restricting the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Various approaches have been developed in recent years for rapid bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), such as Raman spectroscopy, single cell image analysis, microfluidic techniques, mass spectrometry analysis, use of high-sensitive luminescent and fluorescent tags, impedance-based detection, and others. This review describes the methods developed for rapid bacterial identification and assessment of their antibiotic susceptibility, including general principles, specific problems, and future prospects.
