MicrobiType services are available for:
Strain typing provides the critical information that food processors need “to identify outbreaks, trace contamination within an establishment, and investigate potential harborage sites” (USDA-FSIS, 2014).
E. coli (STEC)
Salmonella enterica
Listeria monocytogenes
Campylobacter species
Yersinia enterocolitica
Shigella species
Clostridium perfringens
Bacillus cereus
Foodborne Pathogens
Effective infection control requires knowing if that HAI is endogenous in origin or nosocomially transmitted...and the only way to know is through strain typing.
Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA
Escherichia coli
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Acinetobacter baumanii
Enterococcus species
Candida glabrata
Clostridium difficile
Klebsiella oxytoca
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Serratia marcescens
Proteus mirabilis
Burkholderia cepacia
Healthcare-associated pathogens
Community-acquired pathogens
Environmental to sexually transmitted...routine surveillance to outbreak detection and investigation… strain typing provides the critical information you need.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Neisseria mengitidis
Shigella species
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pyogenes
Legionella pneumophila
Bordetella pertussis
Haemophilus influenzae
Chlamydia trachomatis
Treponema pallidum
Yersinia pestis
Emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant microbes represent major threats to public health. While susceptibility assays can detect resistance, genotyping is required to determine its mechanism and explore its epidemiology.
ESBLs (beta-lactams)
carbapenemases (CRE)
SCCmec (beta-lactams, MRSA)
vanA vanB (vancomycin, VRE)
gyrA (quinolones)
23S rRNA (macrolides, linezolid)
FKS (echinocandins, yeast)
Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms
