Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test using spatiotemporal analysis of laser speckle dynamics of bacterial colonies

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is crucial for providing appropriate choices and doses of antibiotics to patients. However, standard ASTs require a time-consuming incubation of about 16-20 h for visual accumulation of bacteria, limiting the use of AST for an early prescription. In this study, we propose a rapid AST based on laser speckle formation (LSF) that enables rapid detection of...
