A Rapid Bacterial Labeling Method for Phenotypic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Table 3. A summary of results from the BLAST assay using isolates. The BLAST assay was used to determine MICs for E. coli ATCC 25922 and S. aureus ATCC 29213 against 11 and 9 antimicrobial agents respectively. Bacterial isolates were tested at a starting inoculum of 5 x 106 CFU/mL. Each BLAST MIC value was compared to the corresponding CLSI QC range, and all the values match except, S. aureus ATCC 29213 against doxycycline.
