发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY TESTING THE ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY OF A PARAFFINOPHILIC MICROORGANISM
摘要 A method of automatically testing the sensitivity of a paraffinophilic microorganism to different antimicrobial agents and concentrations thereof includes a plurality of receptacles (2-22) each containing an amount of liquid medium, and antimicrobial agent to be tested and the microorganism to be tested. A paraffin containing slide (32-52) is placed in each receptacle (222) after which incubation is effected. A light scatter sensor (62) is employed to automatically and sequentially monitor the extent of microorganism growth on the slides (32-52) and the growth of each slide is employed to determine which antimicrobial agent and which concentration is effective to resist growth of the paraffinophilic microorganism. The slides (32-52) are moved sequentially in operative relationship with the light scatter sensor (62) while resisting rotational movement of the slides. Positive and negative control slides are preferably employed as is a computer (64) in receiving and processing the results of the slide testing. Related apparatus is disclosed.
