Abstract: | A new antimicrobial susceptibility testing method by multi-channel series piezoelectric quartz crystal (MSPQC) was proposed. This method was used to test susceptibility of clinical Escherichia coli isolates against ampicillin. Both the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and interpretive categorization of clinical E. coli isolates were determined by proposed method. Comparing tests were run at the same time by the agar dilution method and the disk diffusion method. The experimental results showed that MSPQC method had a good agreement with the reference methods. Compared with those methods, the MSPQC method is simple, rapid, and convenient to perform. It can offer both a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and an interpretive category result. |
