METHOD FOR RAPIDLY TESTING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT USING CHANGE ANALYSIS OF SHAPE AND GROWTH OF MICROBIAL CELL REACTED AT DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS AND WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS, AND AUTOMATED CELL IMAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for rapidly testing the susceptibility to an antimicrobial agent using a change analysis of the shape and the growth of a microbial cell reacted at different concentrations and with various types of antibiotics, and to an automated cell image analysis system for the same. More specifically, according to the present invention, the method for rapidly testing the susceptibility to an antimicrobial agent using a change analysis of the shape and the growth of a microbial cell reacted at different concentrations and with various types of antibiotics can determine accurate results at a maximum speed six to seven times faster in comparison with a standard method of clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
