Susceptibility profiles of anaerobes to antimicrobials have become unpredictable, thus reliable and user-friendly methods for routine susceptibility testing are increasingly needed. The MICRONAUT-S ...

Until now, broth microdilution (BMD) remained the gold standard for testing colistin susceptibility. However, BMD is a labour-intensive method and not practical for routine use in many laboratories, ...

Determination of antibacterial activity (compounds, natural products etc.) by broth microdilution method, screening and dose response. The antibacterial activity assay is performed in 96-well plate ...

A new benchtop automated reading and incubation system is now available in Europe for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The new instrument provides microbiology laboratories with the ...

Homology surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is critical to monitor and prevent outbreaks of nosocomial infections. In the present study, a matrix-assisted laser ...
