Rapid and Accurate Detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strains Susceptible/Resistant to Cotrimoxazole through Evaluation of Cell Elongation

Rapid and Accurate Detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strains Susceptible/Resistant to Cotrimoxazole through Evaluation of Cell Elongation

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is a well-known antibiotic that inhibits folic acid synthesis, a topic of renewed interest. Since resistant strains are increasingly more common, an early and accurate discrimination of susceptibility may assure confident therapy. Two morphological assays were performed...
