Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop an innovative method of examining bacterial survival using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and flow cytometry (FC) as a reference method. For this purpose, standard strains of bacteria from the ATCC collection were used: Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 14506, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 11632, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 10031, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, as well as seven antibiotics with different antimicrobial mechanisms of action. The ratio of live and dead cells in the tested sample in CZE measurements were calculated using our algorithm that takes into account the detection time. Results showed a high agreement between CZE and FC in the assessment of the percentage of live cells exposed to the stress factor in both antibiotic susceptibility and time-dependent assays. The applied measuring system to assess the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in in vitro conditions is a method with great potential, and the data obtained with the use of CZE mostly correspond to the expected drug sensitivity according to EUCAST and CLSI guidelines.
