Elimination of Extracellular Adenosine Triphosphate for the Rapid Prediction of Quantitative Plate Counts in 24 h Time-Kill Studies against Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria

Elimination of Extracellular Adenosine Triphosphate for the Rapid Prediction of Quantitative Plate Counts in 24 h Time-Kill Studies against Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria

Traditional in vitro time-kill studies (TKSs) require viable plating, which is tedious and time-consuming. We used ATP bioluminescence, with the removal of extracellular ATP (EC-ATP), as a surrogate for viable plating in TKSs against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB). Twenty-four-...
