Does this seem familiar?

Cool article. It's related to, but not identical to our product. That paper uses β-lactamase activity as a proxy for antibacterial resistance. Ours, on the other hand, works for pretty much any bacterium; using a fluorescence microscope we count how many bacteria are left alive when exposed to an antibacterial. If there are a lot left alive, then they're probably resistant.
