Bacterial antibiotic resistance is one of the major concerns of modern healthcare worldwide, and the development of rapid, growth-based, antimicrobial susceptibility tests is key for addressing it. The cover image shows a self-assembled asynchronous magnetic bead rotation (AMBR) biosensor developed for rapid detection of bacterial growth. Using the biosensors, the minimum inhibitory concentration of a clinical E. coli isolate can be measured within two hours, where currently tests take 6-24 hours. A 16-well prototype is also constructed for simple and robust observation of the self-assembled AMBR biosensors.
细菌抗生素耐药性是当今全球医疗保健的主要关注点之一,而快速、基于生长的抗菌药物敏感性测试的发展是解决这一问题的关键。封面图片显示了一种用于快速检测细菌生长的自组装异步磁珠旋转(AMBR)生物传感器。使用该生物传感器,可以在两小时内测量临床大肠杆菌分离株的最小抑菌浓度,而目前的测试需要 6-24 小时。还构建了一个 16 孔原型,用于简单而稳健地观察自组装的 AMBR 生物传感器。
