Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides devices and methods for determining the presence or absence of pathogens in a biological sample and for the concurre nt determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens present. The devices and methods of the present invention are able to make the determinations without pre-selection of target bacteria. Instead, all organisms from the sample are applied to the device. In wells where one or more antimicrobial agents are present only pathogens resistant to the antimicrobial agent grow. This allows the user to determine the presence of target pathogens and concurrently determine the resistance patterns of the organisms without the need to subculture the organisms. The present inventio n also provides methods of performing a business service of performing the determinations described above, and kits containing the devices and descriptions of the methods.
