Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to design a product for anaerobic susceptibility testing that has the following features: 1) the ability to determine minimal inhibit concentrations of antibiotics for anaerobic bacteria, 2) the ability to grow extreme oxygen sensitive organisms, 3) simple to perform,… More
Clinical susceptibility testing of anaerobes has long been complicated by the lack of reproducible growth and prolonged incubation times. Adding to the complexity, antibiotic resistance in anaerobes is a growing and unpredictable problem. We hypothesize that current growth inconsistencies and… More
