Identibac SA

Identibac SA is a quick and simple method for identifying antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The Identibac SA ArrayTube contains 39 different probes for detecting 29 different genes or gene groups associated with antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors in S. aureus.

Identibac SA allows identification of virulence genes associated with pathotypes including: toxic shock syndrome, panton valentine leukocidin, entertoxins, and staph. scalded skin syndrome. Identibac SA also detects genes associated with resistance to a range of different antimicrobials including: aminoglycoside, trimethoprim, tetracycline, streptogramin, beta-lactamase, methicillin, penicillin, streptothricin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, mupriocin, and fusicidic acid.

Identibac SA is a rapid and simple to use method that allows results from a S. aureus isolate within 24 hours. In addition to speed of results, Identibac allows significant reductions in equipment and consumables costs over alternative methods.

Identibac SA is currently available for research use only.
