Single dye fluorescent staining (with a membrane-associated dye such as FM 1-43 or FM 4-64) and the combination of differences in both intensity and spectral emission discriminate live from inactivated/dead bacteria and provides for rapid and accurate detection of live bacteria in mixed populations.

Spectral intensity ratio (SIR) analysis for rapid live microbial enumeration

Single dye fluorescent staining and the combination of differences in both intensity and spectral emission permit determination of the minimum concentration of an antibiotic needed to inactivate bacteria (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)), thereby providing a means for rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST). This allows for a quick and easy means for clinicians to determine a suitable treatment regimen for patients suffering from bacterial infections and those that eventually lead to sepsis.
