MICE Strips Expanded to Include the Antibiotic Tigecycline

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 16 May 2011
The range of minimum inhibitory concentration evaluator (MICE) strips has been expanded to include the antibiotic tigecycline.

MICE strips provide a gradient of stabilized antimicrobial in a convenient polymer strip format. More...
When applied to an inoculated agar plate, the antimicrobial is released from the strip, forming a defined concentration gradient in the surrounding agar. Following appropriate incubation, the MIC value is easily read at the point where organism growth is no longer inhibited along the length of the strip.

Each strip is individually foil-wrapped with desiccant to maintain its integrity until use. For convenience, and to meet the needs of every laboratory, MICE strips are available in stackable boxes of 10 or 50.

The newly added tigecycline strips together with other recently added antimicrobials, including ceftazidime and amikacin, ensure that the comprehensive MICE range for the accurate determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values meets the current needs of clinical microbiologists for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

The new MICE strips were released by Oxoid (Basingstoke, UK), a specialty microbiology company of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Fremont, CA, USA).

MRD Tests Could Predict Survival in Leukemia Patients

Acute myeloid leukemia is an aggressive blood cancer that disrupts normal blood cell production and often relapses even after intensive treatment. Clinicians currently lack early, reliable markers to predict... Read more
