According to FutureWise analysis the market for Europe Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in 2023 is US$ 1.16 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 1.8 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 5.50%.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is a laboratory technique used to assess the efficacy of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents against a particular microorganism. This testing is important because it provides critical information to guide the selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy for bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. AST involves the exposure of the microorganism to various concentrations of antimicrobial agents in vitro and the subsequent determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) required to inhibit or kill the organism. The MIC is the lowest amount of an antimicrobial agent that can inhibit the growth of the microorganism.
AST can be performed using different methods, including disk diffusion, broth microdilution, agar dilution, and gradient diffusion. The disk diffusion method involves placing paper disks impregnated with different antimicrobial agents onto a bacterial culture plate and measuring the size of the zone of inhibition around the disk. The broth microdilution method involves preparing serial dilutions of the antimicrobial substance in a liquid growth medium and then inoculating the dilutions with the microorganism of interest. Agar dilution involves preparing a series of agar plates, each containing a different concentration of the antimicrobial agent. The plates are inoculated with the microorganism, and the MIC is determined. Gradient diffusion involves using plastic strips impregnated with a gradient of the antimicrobial agent. The strips are placed on an agar plate inoculated with the microorganism, and the MIC is determined by identifying the concentration of the antimicrobial agent where the gradient intersects with the growth of the microorganism.
