A simple label-free method reveals bacterial growth dynamics and antibiotic action in real-time

Abstract Understanding the response of bacteria to environmental stress is hampered by the relative insensitivity of methods to detect growth. This means studies of antibiotic resistance and other physiological methods often take 24 h or longer. We developed and tested a scattered light and detectio...
