Combining Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for the Rapid Detection of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Wastewater Using a Microfluidic Centrifugal Disc
The study presents a portable microfluidic centrifugal disc (CD) assay for detecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in the environment. The assay uses both phenotypic and genotypic methods, reducing bacterial culturing time and eliminating the need for a centralized laboratory. The on-CD assay provides comparable performance to benchtop ARB detection assays, identifying ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli spikes in wastewater and indigenous ampicillin-resistant E. coli, demonstrating its potential for environmental applications.
