A more responsible use of antibiotics is an important approach required to prevent multiresistant pathogens. For that one needs to identify the pathogen and also detect the respective antibiotic resistance. If we know about the vulnerability of the specific bacterium, a more targeted treatment is possible. In this video our guest speaker Esther (from iGEM Hamburg) presents three different methods to detect antimicrobial resistance.

1. Disc Diffusion method
2. ETest
3. Colorimetric tests
