Claim 10:
11. A system of assessing a susceptibility of an infectious agent to an anti-infective, the system comprising:
a fluid delivery device configured to introduce a fluid sample to a first surface and a second surface;
the same fluid delivery device or another fluid delivery device configured to introduce a first solution to the first surface comprising the infectious agent;
the same fluid delivery device or another fluid delivery device configured to introduce a second solution to the second surface comprising the infectious agent, wherein at least one of the second surface and the second solution comprises an anti-infective;
a first sensing device configured to be exposed to the first solution after the first solution is exposed to the first surface;
a second sensing device configured to be exposed to the second solution after the second solution is exposed to the second surface; and
a parameter analyzer configured to compare a first electrical characteristic of the first sensing device with a second electrical characteristic of the second sensing device, wherein any differences between the first electrical characteristic and the second electrical characteristic, or lack thereof, is used to assess the susceptibility of the infectious agent to the anti-infective.
