Droplet Microfluidics for High-Throughput Analysis of Antibiotic Susceptibility in Bacterial Cells and Populations

Witold Postek et al.

Summary: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing concern in various environments, including healthcare. Urgent action is needed to discover new antibiotics, diagnose resistance in infectious pathogens, and understand the distribution of resistance levels in populations and single cells. Droplet microfluidics offers high-throughput screening capabilities, allowing for the search of drug combinations to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria and the exploration of resistance origins. Manipulating aqueous droplets containing antibiotics and bacteria, microfluidic systems can automate the preparation of antibiotic concentration gradients for combinatorial assays.

A Cascaded Droplet Microfluidic Platform Enables High-Throughput Single Cell Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing at Scale

Pengfei Zhang et al.

Summary: The development of a new cascaded droplet microfluidic platform has addressed the scalability constraint in rapid single-cell AST technologies, demonstrating the potential for generating multiple groups of droplets with custom antibiotic conditions within a single device. This platform has shown promising results in producing clinically useful antibiograms with minimum inhibitory concentrations in approximately 90 minutes for the first antibiotic and 2 minutes for each subsequent antibiotic condition. The platform also demonstrated potential clinical utility in testing clinical isolates and urine specimens against commonly used antibiotics, achieving high categorical agreements with laboratory-based results in a significantly shorter timeframe.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by measuring bacterial oxygen consumption on an integrated platform

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: Cellular respiration is a fundamental feature of metabolic activity and oxygen consumption can be considered as a reliable indicator of bacterial aerobic respiration. A study was conducted using bacterial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) as a phenotypic indicator for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, showing systematic OCR variations upon microbial exposure to antibiotics. By using photoluminescence-based oxygen sensing in a microchamber format, the study enabled determining minimum inhibitory concentrations for clinically relevant antibiotics within a few hours and estimating bacterial doubling time for various culture conditions.
