AmpC/ESBL differentiation disk
We combined various inhibitors to differentiate between AmpC-producing bacteria and ESBL-producing bacteria!
The ESBL-producing bacteria, which are resistant to commonly used cephalosporin antibiotics, are a growing concern as they are increasingly becoming resistant each year and require attention. Additionally, there are fears that they may spread via plasmids, making them important resistant bacteria in infection control. Since ESBL-producing bacteria can be inhibited by clavulanic acid, inhibition tests are used to differentiate them from other resistant bacteria. AmpC-producing bacteria, which are similar resistant bacteria, can be inhibited by boronic acid and cloxacillin, and unlike ESBL-producing bacteria, there are concerns that cephamycins may also be ineffective against them. Our company offers an "AmpC/ESBL differentiation disk" that combines various inhibitors for the differentiation of these resistant bacteria.
basic information
Beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, cephalosporins, and carbapenems, are the most commonly used antibiotics due to their strong antibacterial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms and their high safety for humans. However, more than 60 years after the practical application of penicillin, drug-resistant bacteria have emerged due to various resistance mechanisms.
