MTS™ (MIC Test Strip) Levofloxacin 0.002-32 pg/mL is a quantitative method intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria. MTS™ consists of specialized paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, which is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in pg/mL of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures.
MTS™ [evotloxacin at concentrations of 0.002 - 32 pug/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours of incubation.
MTS™ Levotloxacin can be used to determine the MIC of levofloxacin against the following bacteria.
