Rapid Optical Nanomotion-Based Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing of Kombucha-Associated Acetic Acid Bacteria and Escherichia coli
, ONMD revealed both intracellular nanomotion puncta and swimming trajectories, which were progressively attenuated following antibiotic exposure. These findings demonstrate that ONMD complements conventional susceptibility testing by resolving time-dependent suppression of both translational motility and intracellular nanomechanical activity at the single-cell level.
