Antimicrobial susceptibility testing device, antimicrobial susceptibility testing method using the testing device and system including the testing device

The antimicrobial susceptibility testing device according to claim wherein the width of the fifth region is set such that bacterial strains of different sizes are localized in the fourth region and the sixth region.

An antimicrobial susceptibility testing method comprising:

• injecting antibiotics into channels formed in a substrate and drying the antibiotics;
• mixing a bacteria sample with the dried antibiotics injected into the channels;
• and rotating the substrate to apply centrifugal force to the mixed solutions of the antibiotics and the bacteria sample such that the mixed solutions are localized in limited regions of the channels.

An antimicrobial susceptibility testing system comprising a substrate, a driving unit rotating the substrate, an image capture unit capturing images of limited regions of the substrate, and an image processing unit processing the images captured by the image capture unit wherein the substrate has injection holes formed so as to penetrate the upper surface thereof and channels forming passages therein through which antibiotics, a bacteria sample or mixed solutions thereof injected through the injection holes are movable and having regions where the mixed solutions are concentrated and localized by centrifugal force applied when the substrate is rotated by the driving unit.
