PRINCIPLE
NG-TEST® Vet ESBL is a rapid and visual immunoassay for the detection of groups 1, 2, 8, 9 and 25 CTX-M β-lactamases in bacterial colonies sampled on a solid agar medium after culture and processed in an extraction buffer. The control line C, is formed by labelled streptavidin and monoclonal antibodies reacting with biotin-BSA and goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibodies immobilized on the membrane. If the sample is positive for CTX-M from groups 1, 2, 8, 9 or 25, a red line will appear on the test region “T” and on the control region “C” of the membrane. If not, only one red line will appear on the control region “C”. If the control line does not appear, the test result is invalid.
Due to the increase in the percentage of infections caused by Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria, more information is needed about the expressed mechanisms of resistance to help guide the optimal antibiotic treatment and to manage infected patients appropriately.
At NG Biotech we continuously develop complementary products to provide clinicians will additional clinically relevant information to adequately treat patients.
