Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for determination of a value for at least one parameter describing microbial activity of individual biological organisms in a liquid sample. Images,wherein individual biological organisms may be identified,are combined to provide optical sectionings of the biological organisms and the optical sectionings are analysed to determine the value for said at least one parameter describing microbial activity of said individual biological organisms in each sample container.

Description

Background technique [0001] Antibiotic susceptibility testing is a very important technology that is widely used in hospitals, health clinics, food and beverage production plants, etc. The large number of different chemicals and standard procedures as well as the massive number of tests performed each year provide ample scope for a huge industry benefiting from the extensive growth of microorganisms. [0002] Some tests are of the indirect type, ie, measure or observe the presence of derivatives of microbial activity, such as excreta or redox indicators, rather than directly observing microbial activity. [0003] The cost of performing antibiotic susceptibility testing in hospitals, for example, is very high and increasing. In addition, a test incubation period of up to 6 days would cause major problems because the treatment cannot wait for such a long response time. The patient may be dead by the time the results come in. Doctors therefore usually prescribe broad-spectrum ...
