Scientific paper demonstrating simultaneous bacterial identification and rapid AST is online

SoundCell has published its latest results in collaboration with its partners at Reinier Haga Medical Diagnostic Center and TU Delft in the journal of ACS Sensors.

Current tools like MALDI-TOF or traditional antimicrobial susceptibility tests require separate workflows – one for identifying bacteria and another for determining antibiotic susceptibility. This leads to delays when every hour matters. In our latest scientific publication, we build on our single-cell diagnostic approach that does both simultaneously!
By combining graphene-based nanomotion sensing with machine learning, we can identify pathogens and detect antibiotic resistance within just a few hours. Our models differentiated E. coli, S. aureus, and K. pneumoniae with near 90% accuracy, and detected resistant vs. susceptible E. coli to meropenem antibiotic with more than >97% accuracy.
