What does a MicroScan do?
MicroScan delivers accurate emerging resistance detection for the toughest pathogens, including Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA), Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
What is MIC in urine culture?
The MIC, or minimum inhibitory concentration, is the lowest concentration (in μg/mL) of an antibiotic that inhibits the growth of a given strain of bacteria.
What is a susceptibility report?
Susceptibility testing is used to determine which antimicrobials will inhibit the growth of the bacteria or fungi causing a specific infection. The results from this test will help a health care practitioner determine which drugs are likely to be most effective in treating a person’s infection.
Who makes the MicroScan?

Is a high or low MIC better?
An MIC is generally regarded as the most basic laboratory measurement of the activity of an antimicrobial agent against an organism. Because a lower MIC value indicates that less of the drug is required in order to inhibit growth of the organism, drugs with lower MIC scores are more effective antimicrobial agents.

What is a good dB for microphone?
16-19 dB-A is good enough for most purposes. You may hear some noise when you record relatively quiet instruments, but it’s usually unobtrusive. 20-23 dB-A is a pretty high self-noise figure for a studio microphone. This is an area where every decibel counts, because we’ve reached a noise level that’s clearly audible.
What number is a positive urine culture?
Although the standard cutoff for a positive urine culture is > 100,000 cfu/mL, in women with pyuria and UTI symptoms, a urine culture is positive if the bacterial count exceeds 100 cfu/mL.
What are susceptibility results?
Susceptibility tests determine a microbe’s vulnerability to antimicrobial drugs by exposing a standardized concentration of organism to specific concentrations of antimicrobial drugs. Susceptibility testing can be done for bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Why antibiotic susceptibility test is done?
An antibiotic sensitivity test is used to help find the best treatment for a bacterial infection. It may also be used to find out which treatment will work best on certain fungal infections.
