Recently advances in miniaturization and automation have been utilized to rapidly decrease
the time to result for microbiology testing in the clinic. These advances have been made due …

With rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, there is often a need to perform
susceptibility testing for less commonly used or newer antimicrobial agents. Such testing can …

For every epidemic outbreak, the prevention and treatments in resource‐limited areas are
always out of reach. Critical to this is that high accuracy, stability, and more comprehensive …

Microfluidics is facing critical challenges in the quest of miniaturizing, integrating, and
automating in vitro diagnostics, including the increasing complexity of assays, the gap …

Achieving fast antimicrobial susceptibility results is a primary goal in the fight against
antimicrobial resistance. Standard antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) takes, however, at …

A new lateral flow immunoassay strip (LFIA) combining sensitive detection and identification
of multiple bacteria remains a huge challenge. In this study, we first developed …

We demonstrate the utility of non-contact printing to fabricate the mAST—an easy-to-
operate, microwell-based microfluidic device for combinatorial antibiotic susceptibility testing …

Effective pathogen detection is an essential prerequisite for the prevention and treatment of
infectious diseases. Despite recent advances in biosensors, infectious diseases remain a …

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic testing is the gold standard method for
pathogen identification (ID) with recent developments enabling automated PCR tests for …

Bacterial infections continue to pose serious public health challenges. Though anti-bacterial
therapeutics are effective remedies for treating these infections, the emergence of antibiotic …
