Validation of the Streck β-Lactamase kit for screening bacterial isolates

In this video, Flor Hudson, microbiologist for the City of Houston public health lab, discusses the validation of the Streck β-Lactamase kit for screening bacterial isolates. The ARM-D^® Kits, providing a rapid detection strategy, aim to enhance antibiotic resistance monitoring for improved AMR surveillance, antibiotic stewardship programs, and infection control. These real-time PCR kits offer comprehensive detection of gene variants not covered by cartridge-based methods, including genes encoding carbapenemases, extended-spectrum β-lactamases, plasmid-mediated ampCs, and other emerging threats.
