    Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for detecting a susceptibility of a microorganism to an anti-infective are described herein. A method comprises introducing a sample comprising the microorganism to a first surface and a second surface; exposing the first surface comprising the microorganism to a first solution; exposing the second surface comprising the microorganism to a second solution, wherein the second solution comprises an anti-infective; separating the first solution from the first surface after exposing the first surface to the first solution; separating the second solution from the second surface after exposing the second surface to the second solution; monitoring a first electrical characteristic of a sensor upon introducing the first solution to the sensor; monitoring a second electrical characteristic of the sensor after introducing the second solution to the sensor; and comparing the first electrical characteristic and the second electrical characteristic to assess the susceptibility of the microorganism.
