Fig. 12   ATB Expression

Function/capability:

  • Automated reading and interpretation of identification strips (ID 32 strips) and susceptibility test strips (ATB® strips) with an integrated printer
  • Standardized methodologies and fully objective interpretation, independent of user
  1. Identification
    • ID 32 strips
      An international reference for the identification of most microorganisms, including fastidious bacteria of over 550 different taxa.
    • It provides a complete range of automated identification test strips allow identification tests to be performed in 24 ¡V48. These test strips comprise 32 optimized biochemical tests and are associated with extensive databases, which are stored in the device's software and regularly updated
  2. Susceptibility testing
    • ATB® strips
      For the determination of S/I/R of a wide range of antibiotics (resistance markers and therapeutic molecules)

Research projects (principal researcher) involved:

  • Identification of yeasts and bacteria from oral rinse and plaque samples
