제목 Fast antimicrobial susceptibility testing against bacteria using droplet-based microfluidic device
초록 We present a microfluidic device for antimicrobialsusceptibility testing(AST) against bacteria in a single device. Not onlyintegrating several flow-focusing channels but also controlling the flowresistance of two aqueous phases, we could produce the cell-encapsulateddroplets having linear concentration gradient of antibiotics. Using thisstrategy, we tested gentamicin against E.coliO157:H7 to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC). Growth indroplets were measured by counting the number of cells through fluorescencemicroscopy. E.coli O157:H7 whichproduces green fluorescence protein(GFP) facilitated cell counting. Screeningthe growth profile of cells in droplets having different concentration ofgentamicin resulted in MIC determination in only 4-6 h using our device. Thisresults show that our platform has the great potential to be used for AST withother pairs of bacteria (i.e. gram-positive bacteria) and antibiotics​
