It is a unique Phenotypic determination paper strip which is coated with antibiotic and inhibitor on a single strip in a concentration gradient manner. The upper half has Ceftriaxone + Clavulanic acid with a highest concentration tapering downwards and capable of showing IC values in the range of 0.016-1, whereas lower half is similarly coated with Ceftriaxone concentration gradient in reverse direction to show IC values in the range of 0.25 - 16.
Ezy MIC™ strip is useful for quantitative determination of susceptibility of bacteria to antibacterial agents. The system comprises of a predefined quantitative gradient which is used for phenotypic detection of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producing organism on appropriate agar media, following overnight incubation. Ceftriaxone / Ceftriaxone + Clavulanic acid Ezy MIC™ Strip is a thin, inert and porous paper strip coated with antibiotic and inhibitor on a single strip in a concentration gradient manner. The upper half has Ceftriaxone + Clavulanic acid with a highest concentration tapering downwards and capable of showing IC values in the range of 0.016 -1, whereas lower half is similarly coated with Ceftriaxone concentration gradient in reverse direction to show IC values in the range of 0.25 - 16. Both sides of the strip are likewise printed with the IC reading scale and the symbol “CTR+” printed on the top of the strip whereas "CTR" printed on bottom of the strips helps in easy identification of the antibiotic.
