Rapid antibiotic susceptibility test and identification method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a rapid antibiotic susceptibility test and an identification method capable of rapidly providing information on antibiotics suitable for microorganisms by performing an antibiotic susceptibility test and an identification test in a single process. The present invention provides a rapid antibiotic susceptibility test and an identification method comprising the steps of: (a) transferring a sample taken from a patient to a first reaction space in which a sample separation means is present; (b) separating and concentrating the pathogen in the sample from the patient's sample by capturing them with the separation means within the first reaction space; and (c) performing the identification of the pathogen or an antibiotic susceptibility test.
