The MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus™ Panel is used to determine
quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of
colonies grown on solid media of aerobic streptococci, including
Streptococcus pneumoniae. After inoculation, panels are incubated
for 20 — 24 hours at 35°C +/- 1°C in a non-CO2 incubator, and
read visually according to the Package Insert.
This particular submission is for the addition of the antimicrobial
Levofloxacin at concentrations of 0.12 to 16 mcg/ml to the test
panel
The organisms which may be used for Levofloxacin susceptibility
testing in this panel are;
Streptococcus pneumoniae (including penicillin-resistant strains)
Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus (Group C/F)
Streptococcus (Group G)
Streptococcus agalactiae
Viridans group streptococci
