detecção de resistência indutível a macrolídeo-lincosamida-estreptogramina b

摘要

The embodiments of this invention provide a test panel and method for the detection of inducible resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin b (iMLSb) in microorganisms in an automated microorganism identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility determinations (AST) system. The wells of a multiple-well test panel contain a macrolide agent and a lincosamide agent and a combination of both macrolide agent and lincosamide agent. The test panel is inoculated with a broth-suspended microorganism, and placed into the automated microorganism identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility determinations (AST) system. The test panel is incubated within the system and the wells monitored for microorganism growth.
