The Liofilchem™ MTS™ Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (1:19) SXT MIC Test Strips are advanced diagnostic tools designed to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), a widely used antibiotic combination. With a MIC range of 0.002–32 μg/mL, these gradient diffusion strips provide precise and reliable results, essential for clinical diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and research.
Key Features
1. Wide MIC Range
- Covers concentrations from 0.002 to 32 μg/mL, enabling detection of low- and high-level resistance in bacterial pathogens.
2. Gradient Diffusion Technology
- Utilizes a stable TMP-SMX gradient to ensure precise MIC determination.
- Offers a quantitative method for susceptibility testing without the need for complex dilution techniques.
3. Therapeutic Ratio
- Each strip contains TMP-SMX in a 1:19 ratio, reflecting clinical dosing standards for accurate testing.
4. Broad Pathogen Coverage
- Effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including:
- Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella spp.
- Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
5. Compliance with Global Standards
- Fully compliant with international guidelines such as EUCAST and CLSI, ensuring reproducibility and consistency.
6. Fast Turnaround
- Results available within 16–24 hours, enabling timely clinical decision-making.
7. Easy-to-Use
- Simple application on agar plates with clear visual interpretation of MIC endpoints.
Applications
1. Clinical Diagnostics
- Assess bacterial susceptibility to TMP-SMX for treating infections like:
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Respiratory infections.
- Gastrointestinal infections.
- Skin and soft tissue infections.
2. Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance
- Monitor trends in TMP-SMX resistance in clinical and public health settings.
3. Research and Development
- Investigate TMP-SMX efficacy and resistance mechanisms in experimental studies or pharmaceutical development.
4. Infection Control
- Identify multidrug-resistant pathogens in hospital environments to guide infection control strategies.
How It Works
- Sample Preparation:
- Prepare a bacterial suspension standardized to 0.5 McFarland.
- Application:
- Inoculate a Mueller-Hinton agar plate uniformly with the bacterial suspension.
- Place the TMP-SMX MTS strip on the inoculated plate.
- Incubation:
- Incubate at 35–37°C for 16–24 hours.
- Result Interpretation:
- Read the MIC value where the elliptical zone of inhibition intersects the strip’s gradient scale.
