For information on the program, material used, analytical parameters and the frequency of implementation, please refer to the current catalog.
Program: BAC-C or BAC-E: 4 surveys/year x 4 samples
Material: Lyophilised samples (pure strain and/or mixture of bacteria): 2 for identification and 2 for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). AST according to EUCAST or CLSI guidelines.
In this program we simulate different types of specimens: blood, urine, swabs (e.g. surgical/wound site, etc.), sputum/bronchospcopy specimen, paracentesis samples (e.g. ascites), joint/synovial fluid, sonicate fluid of explanted prosthetic joints, and CSF.
Evaluation: Qualitative
