Novel Method for the Rapid Establishment of Antibiotic Susceptibility Profiles in Bacterial Strains Linked to Musculoskeletal Infections Using Scattered Light Integrated Collector Technology

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is an important challenge that the healthcare system is continually battling and a major problem in the treatment of musculoskeletal infections such as periprosthetic joint infections. Current methods to identify infectious microbes and define susceptibility to antibiotics require two to ten days from isolation to the establishment of an antibiogram. This slow process limits...
