Abstract
Bacterial antibiotic resistance is one of the major concerns of modern healthcare worldwide, and the development of rapid, growth‐based, antimicrobial susceptibility tests is key for addressing it. The cover image shows a self‐assembled asynchronous magnetic bead rotation (AMBR) biosensor developed for rapid detection of bacterial growth. Using the biosensors, the minimum inhibitory concentration of a clinical E. coli isolate can be measured within two hours, where currently tests take 6–24 hours. A 16‐well prototype is also constructed for simple and robust observation of the self‐assembled AMBR biosensors.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
