NP tests
NP tests for the rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms
The NP tests are a growing series of panels developed by Liofilchem in collaboration with Prof. Patrice Nordmann and Prof. Laurent Poirel, University of Fribourg, Switzerland, for the rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
Rapid ESBL NP® test
The ESBL NP® rapid test is an 8-test panel for the identification of ESBL producers among Enterobacteriaceae. One panel enables the ESBL detection of 8 different isolates. The dried substrates in the wells are rehydrated with a lysed microbial suspension. After 20 minutes of incubation at 36±2°C, the result is read and interpreted by a clear color change.
RapidResa Polymyxin Acinetobacter NP® test
The RapidResa Polymyxin Acinetobacter NP® Test is an 8-test panel of dried biochemical substrates for the rapid detection of colistin-resistant/susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. One panel allows testing of eight (8) different isolates.
The test results are evaluated by visual assessment of the color development in the wells.
This test is based on the use of resazurin (7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one 10-oxide) as a cell viability indicator and a comparison of bacterial growth in a medium with or without a defined concentration of colistin.
