Key Features:
The well-established method for manual microorganism identification to the species level, bioMérieux’s API® identification products are test kits for identification of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and yeast. The system offers a large and robust database.
API® offers manual identification of microorganisms for;
● Infectious disease diagnosis
● Identification of important industrial microorganisms
Etest®, ready to use AST reagent strips, is recognized as a cost-effective tool for determining on-scale MICs across 15 dilutions. It can also be used in a macro method format to optimize resistance detection. Over 100 antibiotics are now available in the product range for testing of
aerobic bacteria and fastidious organisms such as pneumococci, haemophilus, H. pylori, meningococci, gonococci, anaerobes, fungi, and mycobacteria.
Key Features
● Determine the MIC of fastidious, slow-growing or nutritionally deficient micro-organisms
● Confirm or detect low-level or new resistance mechanisms
● Test new/non-routine antimicrobials
● Fine-tune antimicrobial treatment. Etest® has an extensive range of over 100 antimicrobial references that can be classified into 4 categories:
● Antibiotics
● Antifungals
● Anti-mycobacterials
● Resistance Phenotype Testing
