Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a reporter assay for rapid and simultaneous bacterial identification and phenotype testing for antimicrobial susceptibility (AST). The current invention uses a strategy that has shown the ability for multiplexing and for handling polymicrobial samples for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
