Antimicrobial susceptibility profile of S. aureus. AST of methicillin against wild-type (UAMS-1WT) and community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). (A) Microarray scanner image of AST-Chip with S. aureus cultures exposed to different concentrations of methicillin [MET]. The viability is indicated by the fluorescence intensity of the spots. (B) Scanning electron micrographs of S. aureus biofilms that are untreated (top) or treated with 10 μg/ml MET (bottom); (C) Dose-response profile of S. aureus cultures obtained using AST-Chip.
