Abstract
Systems and methods for microbe identification (ID) in the context of phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Approaches for rapidly identifying polymicrobial samples are introduced that following perform one or more ID methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF), PCR, or DNA hybridization, following sample incubation in two or more different media, including at least one selective media. Parallel ID and AST workflows are provided that may reduce the time from sample to AST result.
