According to FutureWise analysis, the market for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.70% over the forecast period 2023-2031, and reach a market value of US$ 5.62 Billion by 2031.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is a crucial laboratory technique utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents against specific microorganisms. This testing is essential as it delivers vital information necessary for selecting the appropriate antimicrobial therapy when dealing with bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. AST involves exposing microorganisms to various concentrations of antimicrobial agents in a controlled laboratory setting, allowing for the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC represents the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent required to inhibit the growth of a microorganism.

There are several methods for performing AST, including disk diffusion, broth microdilution, agar dilution, and gradient diffusion. The disk diffusion method places paper disks containing different antimicrobial agents onto a bacterial culture plate, measuring the size of the zone of inhibition that surrounds each disk. In the broth microdilution method, serial dilutions of the antimicrobial agent are prepared in a liquid growth medium, which is then inoculated with the microorganism of interest. Agar dilution involves creating a series of agar plates, each containing a distinct concentration of the antimicrobial agent, to determine susceptibility. These testing methods are integral in guiding effective treatment strategies to combat infections effectively.
