Broth microdilution

Custom panels are created using a 96-well format. Compounds can be provided
as dry powders or as DMSO solutions.


Agar dilution

Compounds can be provided as dry powders or as DMSO solutions.


Disk diffusion

Using manufactured disks or disks made in house


Repository of Clinical Isolates

Recent clinical isolates of prevalent Gram-positive and negative pathogens, including anaerobic pathogens, available for screening. Isolates with genetically characterized resistance mechanisms (e.g. KPC, NDM-1, OXA) also available.
