Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using microchannels. (a) Four clinical isolates (EC137, EC132, EC462, and EC136) were tested for their antimicrobial resistance patterns in Mueller-Hinton media. The antimicrobial resistance patterns for Ampicillin (Amp), Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (T/S) of the strains are highlighted in the figure. The superscripts “S” and “R” indicate sensitive and resistance of the strain to the antibiotics. (b) Antimicrobial resistance profiling of the same clinical isolates in urine using 200 μm microchannels. The experiments were performed in Mueller-Hinton media mixed with urine at a 1:1 ratio. Data represent mean ±standard deviation.
