Abstract

Antibiotic resistance has globally arisen as an urgent problem to be tackled. To save patients with infectious diseases, fast and accurate decision of antibiotic susceptibility is essential. However, total turnaround time of current clinical process for appropriate prescription takes more than three days for general infections, a month for tuberculosis. Thus, most of early prescription for urgent patients depend on conventional experience of clinical experts, which can be led to additional antimicrobial resistance and misjudgement. To reduce turnaround time of clinical process, we developed rapid antibiotic susceptibility test platform for tackling global antibiotic resistance based on microfluidics.
