Droplet microfluidics-based detection of very rare antibiotic-resistant subpopulation in clinical isolates of<i>Escherichia coli</i>from bloodstream infections
2025-03-10
Abstract excerpt
Population heterogeneity in bacterial phenotypes, such as antibiotic resistance, is increasingly recognized as a medical concern. Heteroresistance (HR) occurs when a predominantly susceptible bacterial population harbors a rare resistant subpopulation. During antibiotic exposure, these resistant bacteria can be selected and lead to treatment failure. Standard antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods often f...
