Rapid and directly interpretable antimicrobial susceptibility profiling by continuous microvolume-electroanalysis of ferricyanide-mediated bacterial respiration

Abstract

We present a novel method for the electroanalysis of potassium ferricyanide-mediated bacterial electron transport, to rapidly assess viability and construct interpretable antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Electrochemical minimum inhibitory concentrations (ecMICs) became determinable with a high correlation to the results from conventional assays.
