Abstract
The current standard for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is based on measuring bacterial growth after 10-24 hours of proliferation. Considering that many life-threatening conditions of infection exist, rapid AST techniques are urgently needed. We developed a rapid AST method based on two-photon fluorescence and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy which can detect antibiotic responses of bacteria within one hour. We used Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a representative pathogen model, and found that antibiotic treatment greatly reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) levels in the bacteria. This enables rapid determination of bacterial susceptibility at the single cell level.
