The direct rapid antibiotic susceptibility test (dRAST), based on analysing changes in bacterial micro-colonies under antibiotic conditions, detects antibiotic resistance within 6 h of direct smear examination results. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of dRAST and evaluate its potential usefulness for improving selection of appropriate antibiotic in real clinical practice settings.
