ETEST® DELAFLOXACIN

Improving Therapeutic Decisions

ETEST is a well-established method for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determinations in microbiology laboratories around the world. ETEST consists of a predefined gradient of antibiotic concentrations immobilized on a plastic strip and is used to determine the MIC of antibiotics and antifungal agents.

ETEST complements the VITEK® 2 automated system platform by offering a flexible and precise MIC solution to test additional antibiotics. Learn more about ETEST.

Overview

Enhance your Antimicrobial Stewardship Program

ETEST Delafloxacin is a quantitative technique for determining the susceptibility of delafloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus, S. haemolyticus, S. lugdunensis, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ETEST Delafloxacin provides an additional diagnostic solution to help support antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.

Diagnostic Stewardship is Critical in Combating Antibiotic Resistance

ETEST Delafloxacin is used to assess susceptibility to delafloxacin, brand name Baxdela®, a fluoroquinolone developed to treat acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) in adults.1

Keeping pace with antimicrobial resistance, while ensuring top quality and performance is critical. ETEST Delafloxacin is one of several ETEST strips developed as part of an ongoing commitment to keep up-to-date with evolving diagnostic trends.

ETEST - MIC Testing

ETEST complements the VITEK 2 system by offering a flexible and precise MIC solution to test additional antibiotics. The ETEST range offers more than 90 antimicrobial agents including antifungals as well as antimicrobial resistance detection references.

ETEST Delafloxacin gradient strip is preformed and stable. It is a thin, inert, and non-porous plastic strip comprised of a predefined antibiotic gradient used to determine the MIC, in μg/mL, against microorganisms tested on agar media after overnight incubation. In 16-20 hours of incubation, you can determine MIC values for the organism. This strip supplements our ETEST product range.
