RapidResa Polymyxin Acinetobacter NP® test
RapidResa Polymyxin Acinetobacter NP® test is a 8-test panel containing desiccated biochemical substrates for rapid detection of colistin-resistant/-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. A panel allows testing of eight (8) different isolates.
Test results are evaluated by visual assessment of color development in the wells.
This assay is based on the utilization of resazurin (7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one-10-oxide) as cell viability indicator and a comparison of bacterial growth in medium with or without a defined concentration of colistin.

Cefiderocol MTS™
Cefiderocol MTS™ (MIC Test Strip), FDC 0.016-256 μg/mL , is a quantitative method for the in-vitro susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Cefiderocol.

MTS™ consists of special porous paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures.

Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin with activity against aerobic Gram-negative organisms. It binds to free iron and is actively transported into bacterial cells through the outer membrane. This Trojan horse strategy allows cefiderocol to enter the space in-between the bacterial cell walls and disrupt cell wall synthesis. In addition, cefiderocol is stable against nearly all beta-lactamases, including both the serine and metallo-carbapenemases.

Chromatic Colistin
Chromatic Colistin is a selective chromogenic medium used for the isolation and differentiation of Colistin resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The medium is intended for screening of faecal samples and can also be used to confirm colistin resistance of isolates from non-selective and non-chromogenic culture media.
