Evaluation of MicroScan Rapid Pos Combo panels for identification of staphylococci.
MicroScan Rapid Pos Combo panels (Baxter Diagnostics, Inc., MicroScan, West Sacramento, Calif.) contain substrates conjugated with fluorophores and substrates with a fluorescent pH indicator. AutoSCAn W/A, an automated panel processor equipped with a fluorometer, reads the panels after 2 h of incubation and can identify staphylococci to the species level. We tested 239 strains belonging to 17 s...
متن کاملMultilaboratory study of the Biomic automated well-reading instrument versus MicroScan WalkAway for reading MicroScan antimicrobial susceptibility and identification panels.
This study compared the Biomic automated well reader results to the MicroScan WalkAway results for reading MicroScan antimicrobial susceptibility and identification panels at four different sites. Routine fresh clinical isolates and quality control (QC) organisms were tested at each study site. A total of 46,176 MicroScan panel drug-organism combinations were read. The Biomic category agreement...
متن کاملEvaluation of MicroScan rapid gram-positive panels for detection of oxacillin-resistant staphylococci.
The ability of MicroScan rapid panels (Baxter MicroScan, West Sacramento, Calif.) to detect oxacillin resistance in 92 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 103 coagulase-negative staphylococci was evaluated by comparing results with those of MicroScan 24-h MIC panels and, to resolve discrepancies, oxacillin agar screening. Both panels were interpreted by the MicroScan WalkAway-96 syst...
متن کاملEvaluation of MicroScan for identification of Enterococcus species.
Emerging drug resistance of the enterococci necessitates differentiation from group D streptococci and accurate species identification. MicroScan (Baxter Healthcare Corp., West Sacramento, Calif.) has recently developed a microdilution system for identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of gram-positive cocci. To evaluate the ability of this system to identify Enterococcus species, ...
