The present invention relates to growing and testing microorganisms in a multitest format which utilizes a gel forming matrix for the rapid screening of clinical and environmental cultures. The present invention is suited for the characterization of commonly encountered microorganisms (e. g. , etc. ), as well as commercially and industrially important organisms from various and diverse environments (e. g. , the present invention is particularly suited for the growth and characterization of the actinomycetes and fungi). The present invention is also particularly suited for comparative analysis of phenotypic differences between cell types, including strains of microorganisms that have been designated as the same genus and species, as well as other cell types (e. g. , mammalian, insect, and plant cells).
Comparative Phenotype Analysis For Assessment Of Biologically Active Compounds Such As Antimicrobials
The present invention relates to using multitest panels to improve the effectiveness, throughput, and efficiency of testing and commercial development of biologically active compounds, in particular those useful in human, animal, and plant health. In particular, the present invention provides phenotype microarrays suitable for testing biologically active compounds for their potential application in clinical, veterinary, and plant health.
