System that combines rapid microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility assay

摘要

(57) In response to the need for identification and assay antibiotic susceptibility assay very sensitive and does not require [summary] a great deal of incubation time, the present invention is, turbidity and to use the assay platform of transparent plastic single and provided that allows microorganism identification and / or determination of antibiotic susceptibility in a fairly short time frame, the system and automated assay methods than those using a hybrid system that combines a decision fluorescence has been implemented previously. Related equipment, kit, and its components are also disclosed.
