We describe a phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) method that can provide an eightfold speed-up in turnaround time compared with the current clinical standard by leveraging advances in microscopy and single-cell imaging. A newly developed growth plate containing 96 agarose pads, termed the multipad agarose plate (MAP), can be assembled at low cost. Pads can be prepared with dilution series of antibiotics.
