Evaluation of an adapted relative growth method by MALDI-TOF MS for rapid determination of the susceptibility of Escherichia coli to levofloxacin

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health threat. Conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) requires 12–24 h, delaying targeted treatment. Although rapid AST approaches exist, their reliance on static measurements and single-colony analysis limits diagnostic accuracy by overlo...
