The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two methods of antibiotic susceptibility testing performed on Chlamydia trachomatis-infected cells: a flow cytometric detection method and the standard method, which consists of a microscopic reading of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).

We have developed an 8 hr flow cytometry (FCM) method for assessing susceptibility of yeasts to amphotericin B (AmpB). The method detects both highlevel and relative-resistance to the drug. Variables found to affect fluorescence of control and AmpB treated cells included pH, presence of glucose, inc
