To guide the timely selection of antibiotic combinations against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB), anin vitro test with a short turnaround time is essential. We developed anin vitro ATP bioluminescence assay to determine effective antibiotic combinations against CR-GNB within 6 h.
