ETEST®  IMIPENEM/RELEBACTAM

ETEST is a well-established method for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determinations in microbiology laboratories around the world. ETEST consists of a predefined gradient of antibiotic concentrations immobilized on a plastic strip and is used to determine the MIC of antibiotics and antifungal agents.

ETEST complements the VITEK® 2 automated system platform Learn more about ETEST.

ETEST Imipenem/Relebactam is a quantitative technique for determining the susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae. Imipenem/relebactam, brand name RECARBRIO™, is the combination of imipenem, a penem antibacterial and relebactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor.1 ETEST Imipenem/Relebactam provides an additional diagnostic solution for multi-drug resistant Gram-negative organisms and helps clinicians guide and manage therapy.

Developed To Meet Emerging Resistance Challenges

ETEST Imipenem/Relebactam is used to assess susceptibility to imipenem/relebactam, an antimicrobial agent developed to treat urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis (cUTI) and complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI).1

ETEST Imipenem/Relebactam is one of several ETEST strips developed as a part of an ongoing commitment to keep up-to-date with evolving microbiology needs. Other recent additions to the ETEST product line include ETEST Piperacillin/Tazobactam, ETEST Meropenem/Vaborbactam and ETEST Telavancin.

ETEST - MIC Testing

ETEST complements the VITEK 2 system by offering a flexible and precise MIC platform to test additional antibiotics. The ETEST range offers more than 90 antimicrobial agents including antifungals as well as antimicrobial resistant detection references.

ETEST Imipenem/Relebactam gradient strip is preformed and stable. It is a thin, inert, and non-porous plastic strip comprised of a predefined antibiotic gradient used to determine the MIC, in μg/mL, against microorganisms tested on agar media after overnight incubation. After 16-20 hours of incubation, you can determine MIC values for the organism. This strip supplements our ETEST product range.
