In recent years there has been an increase in multi-drug resistance (MDR) amongst gram-positive pathogens. This has impacted both hospital and community acquired infections.
The MICRONAUT-S plates are designed to provide the routine laboratory with an efficient tool for phenotypic detection of the important resistance mechanisms among these bacteria. The MICRONAUT-S MRSA/GP also includes highly effective backup antibiotics: ceftaroline, daptomycin, linezolid, tigecycline, vancomycin, and teicoplanin.
