| contents | Purpose: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health concern, affecting hospital admissions and treatment success. This study aims to introduce an experimental setup for monitoring bacterial activity over time using image-based contrast as a key biomarker. Methods: The proposed method captures changes in bacterial activity by analyzing variations in image contrast. The approach is evaluated for its ability to detect antimicrobial effects over shorter time intervals compared to conventional clinical techniques. Results: The findings reveal a progressive decrease in contrast over time, suggesting its potential as an indicator of antimicrobial activity. The results highlight the method's capability for early detection of bacterial susceptibility. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that image-based contrast analysis can serve as a rapid and reliable tool for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, offering advantages over traditional methods in clinical practice. |
