In Vitro Evaluation of Micro-Organisms and Their Antimicrobial Agent Susceptibilities |
摘要 |
A method of identifying a micro-organism and determining the susceptibility of the micro-organism to an antimicrobial agent by inserting a sample of the micro-organism in a primary culture container and allowing the micro-organism to multiply. The primary culture is then divided into a plurality of secondary cultures and the metabolic volatile or semi-volatile compounds (VCs) in the headspace above the cultures are analysed by SIFT-MS to ascertain whether micro-organisms exist in the culture and determine the type of micro-organism. The secondary cultures are then divided into a number of tertiary cultures and an antimicrobial agent is introduced whereupon the VCs in the headspace above the tertiary cultures are analysed by SIFT-MS to determine the susceptibility of the micro-organism to the antimicrobial agent at various concentrations of the antimicrobial agent.
