Bacterial or fungal antimicrobial susceptibility testing method and system used therefor

摘要

Provided are a new method and a test system used therefor, which can easily and quickly test the susceptibility of bacteria or fungi to antibacterial drugs. The test method of the present invention is a test method for the susceptibility of bacteria or fungi to an antibacterial agent, uses a microdevice having a flow path, and mixes the antibacterial drug and the test bacteria solution in the flow path of the microdevice. A step of incubating the solution, and a detection step of detecting bacteria or fungi derived from the test solution in the observation area of the flow path of the microdevice. The detection step can be performed, for example, by detecting increase / decrease or morphological change of bacteria or fungi derived from the test bacteria solution in the observation area with a microscope or the like.
