Ensuring detection of novel antimicrobial resistant strains

13 May 2021

Carbapenemase-producing strains continue to strive and develop various mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Incorporating resistant strains into routine Quality Control testing processes ensures antimicrobial susceptibility testing solutions can recognize different resistance patterns.

In this application note, learn more about Carbapenem-resistant strains and explore Thermo Scientific’s full Culti-Loops portfolio of QC strains for antimicrobial susceptibility testing following CLSI and EUCAST recommendations.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
