An introduction to ultra-rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing
27 May 2024
In this video, Emma Davies, Microbiologist, and Digital Content Specialist at Gradientech describes how the QuickMIC instrument, analysis software, and gram-negative cassette provide a user-friendly approach to sepsis management. QuickMIC is an ultra-rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing system that provides precise MIC values directly from positive blood cultures in 2-4 hours.
This video was filmed at ESCMID Global 2024.

Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
