  • DETERMINATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY BY POPULATION PROFILING OF MICROBIAL CULTURES
    Publication number: 20250333776
    Abstract: Systems and Methods for determining response of microbe cultures to antimicrobials by measuring properties of individual microbes and/or other culture particles. Methods include incubating microbes in liquid cultures which may contain antimicrobials and growth media, detecting individual microbes and particles, and measuring their properties, which may include the mass of individual microbes and particles. Measurement data, such as masses of a plurality of individual microbes or particles, may be collected after an incubation duration. These data may be analyzed to determine susceptibility of microbes to one or more antibiotics. Measurement may be performed after incubation durations shorter than required to produce growth by microbe replication, and analysis may include assessment of metrics other than the growth of the culture.
