Abstract

This paper describes a droplet microfluidic platform capable of rapidly generating a comprehensive antibiogram for pathogenic bacteria against commonly administered antibiotics. Our platform assembles picoliter droplet groups that each digitizes single bacterial cells along with a distinct antibiotic at a predefined dosage. After 85 min. of on-chip incubation, we can assess the effect of multiple antibiotics on the bacteria via a fluorescent single-cell viability test. Our platform achieves rapid antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) for four antibiotics in 2.5 hours, which can potentially guide clinical practice in the future.
