The matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry direct-on-target microdroplet growth assay for the rapid susceptibility testing and the detection of the underlying antibiotic resistance mechanisms of microbia has been recently introduced. In the present study, we review the latest developments in the field.
