Growing cultures of K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, E. coli, E. faecium, S. saprophyticus and S. aureus, were diluted in medium at 37 °C to achieve concentrations between 101 and 107 cfu mL−1 and incubated in SLIC for up to 4 h. Time to positivity (TTP) was defined as the point when the mean value for scattering (mV) and 95% confidence intervals were greater than, and remained above, 0 mV (X- axis). n = 3.
