1 for antimicrobial susceptibility testing Liofilchem Liofilchem Quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) is a quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms and for detecting the resistance mechanisms. are porous strips with special features (International Patent) that are impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions of a conventional M.I.C. method. On one side of the strip is indicated a M.I.C. scale in μg/ml and a code that identify the antimicrobial agent. For ESBL, MBL, GRD, AmpC and KPC detection, the double-sided gradient carries the appropriate diagnostic reagents. are available in a large variety of configurations. Each configuration is available in packages of 10, 30 and 100 tests. Mixed culture on Chromatic MH Meropenem μg/ml Staphylococcus aureus ATCC Tigecycline μg/ml M.I.C. = 0.19 μg/ml method principle When the is applied onto an inoculated agar surface, the preformed exponential gradient of antimicrobial agent is immediately transferred to the agar matrix. After 18 hours incubation or longer, a symmetrical inhibition ellipse centered along the strip is formed. The MIC is read directly from the scale in terms of μg/ml at the point where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip. Other growth/inhibition patterns may also be seen for resistance detection methods.
