All Quality Control Strains Recommended in EUCAST Available

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 24 Mar 2011
All of the quality control strains recommended in the new European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) harmonized disc diffusion method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing are available.

Culti-Loops, which include all EUCAST-recommended strains, are disposable bacteriological loops containing stabilized, viable microorganisms, supplied in packs of five. More...
Each loop is individually foil-wrapped and ready-to-use, designed for quick, easy, and safe preparation of standardized cultures.

The Oxoid (Basingstoke, England) antimicrobial susceptibility testing product range also includes Oxoid antimicrobial discs for all of the antimicrobial compounds recommended in the EUCAST method. The recommended culture medium (Mueller-Hinton Agar) is available in dehydrated or various prepared media formats (with and without defibrinated horse blood and NAD).

Ergonomically designed disc dispensers, for the accurate placement of discs onto a variety of agar plate sizes (90 mm, 120 mm, and 140 mm); and the Oxoid Turbidometer, for accurate preparation of 0.5 McFarland inoculums, are also available.

Customers in the US should contact their Remel representative (Lenexa, KS, USA). Oxoid and Remel are specialty microbiology brands of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
