OverviewResistance to multiple β-lactam antibiotics due to ESBL production has made ESBL-producing organisms a significant clinical and infection‑control concern. Accurate, timely confirmation of ESBL production supports appropriate therapy and epidemiological surveillance. The ESβL plus Panels provide a focused MIC-only format for confirmation and susceptibility assessment using CLSI-recommended dilutions.
SummaryUse ESβL plus Panels to confirm ESBL production and obtain antimicrobial susceptibility results for therapeutic decision-making and infection-control purposes. The panels follow CLSI guidance for target organisms and dilutions.
Key features- MIC-only panel format designed to satisfy CLSI confirmation testing recommendations for E. coli, K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca and P. mirabilis
- Delivers susceptibility results for recommended therapeutic agents for ESBL-confirmed isolates
- Can support testing of other ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria (where applicable outside the U.S.)
- Can aid study of other β-lactamase types (e.g., ampC) in applicable settings (outside the U.S.)
- Manual processing option to integrate with diverse laboratory workflows
- Compatible with Prompt™ or turbidity inoculation methods for flexible inoculation workflow
