Assoc/Professor Tim Inglis
Friday, 26 May 2017

Congratulations to Assoc/Professor Tim Inglis and his team on their recent publication on “Rapid susceptibility profiling of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae” in Scientific Reports.

In this publication, they describe a novel technique called flow cytometry-assisted susceptibility test (FAST) method which combines rapid qualitative susceptible/non-susceptible classification and quantitative antibiotic resistance levels in a single process completed shortly after receipt of a primary isolate in the pathology diagnostic laboratory.

Faster antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) methods are an essential component of the multi-faceted measures needed to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use and combat the rise of superbugs. It is hoped that this method could be used for rapid determination of antimicrobial susceptibility in a wide range of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, not just Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The article can be viewed on the Scientiic Reports website.
