## Indications for use
The MicroScan® Synergies plus TM Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 4.5 - 18 hours at 350 C +/- 1°C, in a WalkAway® SI, or equivalent, and read by the MicroScan® Instrumentation. Additionally, the panels may be incubated in a non-CO 2 incubator and the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) portions can be read visually, according to the Package Insert. This particular submission is for the addition of the antimicrobial clindamycin, at concentrations of 0.03 to 8 gg/ml Long Dilution Sequence and 0.12 - 2 Rtg/ml 5-Dilution Breakpoint Sequence, for Staphylococcus spp., to the test panel. The Gram-positive organisms which may be used for clindamycin susceptibility testing in this panel are: * Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase and non-penicillinase producing strains) * Staphylococcus epidermidis (penicllinase and non-penicillinase producing strains)
