Nitrocef MatchBookTM Hardy Diagnostics now offers a more convenient way of testing ß-lactamase activity in bacteria. The new Nitrocef MatchBooktm; is a rapid test that allows you to quickly pick your colonies and perform the test at the same time! Easier and faster than a disk! The rapid Nitrocef test consists of a paper match-stick that is impregnated with the Nitrocefin reagent, which is a chromogenic cephalosporin. This rapid test can yield clinically relevant information earlier than an MIC test. A positive ß-lactamase test can predict resistance to such antibiotics as penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, and other ß-lactamase containing drugs for the following organisms:
The rapid Nitrocef MatchBooktm can be used for all of the above organisms with results in 5 minutes or less, with the exception of some Staphylococcus spp. that may take up to one hour. The ß-lactamase test is preferred to disk diffusion and agar dilution for the detection of plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase resistance in gonococci. 10 Test, Catalog #Z108 See our online catalog for pricing.
