151 Identification & Susceptibility Testing Identification systems are utilized to obtain the identification (genus and species) of an organism. These systems contain fluorogenic and chromogenic substrates. When the organism comes into contact with the substrates, the organism either reacts with the substrate (positive reaction) or there is no reaction (negative reaction). When the positive and negative reactions are combined, the identification of the organism is determined. Susceptibility systems are utilized to determine what antimicrobics will be most effective in treating an organism. The organism is tested against various concentrations of antimicrobics, determining the organism s resistance (ineffective) or susceptibility (effective) to the antimicrobics. The identification and susceptibility of an organism is information that the physician requires from the laboratory, which is used when determining patient treatment.

BD DrySlide A dry alternative for rapid testing with microbiological biochemical reagents slides BD DrySlide - Indole BD DrySlide Indole is used for determining the indole reaction of bacteria. The indole test is a qualitative procedure for determining the ability of bacteria to produce indole by reductive deamination of tryptophan. Vracko and Sherris showed that the indole test can be performed using filter paper moistened with p-dimethyl-aminobenzaldehyde (DMABA), an effective indicator of indole production. BD DrySlide Indole is a disposable slide with four filter paper reaction areas containing 5 % p- dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMABA); 25 x 3 slides slides slides BD DrySlide - Nitrocefin Used for detecting ß-lactamase production by bacteria. BD DrySlide Nitrocefin employs nitrocefin, a cephalosporin compound first described by Glaxo Research (Middlesex, England), in the chromogenic cephalosporin test methodology. BD DrySlide - Oxidase Used for determining the oxidase reaction of bacteria; 25 x 3 slides. The oxidase test is a qualitative procedure for determining the presence or absence of cytochrome c oxidase activity in bacteria. This activity is dependent on the presence of an intracellular cytochrome oxidase system that catalyzes the oxidation of cytochrome c by molecular oxygen, which then serves as the terminal electron acceptor in the organism's electron transport system. Organisms containing cytochrome c as part of their respiratory chain are oxidase positive and turn the reagent purple; organisms lacking cytochrome c as part of their respiratory chain do not oxidize the reagent, leaving it colorless within the time limits of the test, and are oxidase negative slides BD DrySlide - PYR Kit BD DrySlide PYR is a disposable slide format for the presumptive identification of group A streptococci and enterococci. Contains the reagent L-pyrrolidonyl-ß-naphthylamide (PYR) which is hydrolyzed by bacteria possessing the enzyme pyrrolidonyl amino peptidase. The addition of the BD DrySlide PYR Color Developer, which is provided in convenient crush ampules, results in a vivid color reaction in a 3 minute test. 60 tests consisting of: 15 BD DrySlide PYR Slides 15 x 0.5 ml BD DrySlide PYR Color Developer 7-6 BD Diagnostics Diagnostic Systems Catalog 2008/2009

174 Identification & Susceptibility Testing BD Phoenix Automated Identification & Susceptibility Testing BD Phoenix Instrument & Accessories BD Phoenix Instrument The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System is designed for the rapid Identification (ID) and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) of clinically significant human bacterial pathogens. The instrument holds up to 100 panels (ID only, AST only, combined ID/AST, or a mixture), thus being capable of performing 200 simultaneous tests with the combined ID/AST panels. Identification is based on colorimetric and fluorescence readings without the need for supplemental tests or reagent addition. The AST is based on a dual indicator system (redox and turbidity readings) for optimal performance. Panel readings are taken by the BD Phoenix instrument every 20 minutes and on average, provide the final interpretation of ID results in less than 3 hours and of AST results in approximately 8 hours. Over 160 Gram-negative organisms and over 145 Gram-positive organisms are in the BD Phoenix database. The BD Phoenix supports CLSI (formerly NCCLS), SFM, DIN, and BSAC based rules as well as customizable breakpoints. An integrated customizable expert system (BDXpert System) is used for result validation. The BD Phoenix System features only one moving part, easy-to-use icon driven software, rapid reporting of preliminary results, specimen barcoding, direct LIS connection and minimal user maintenance. The System can be connected to the BD EpiCenter Data Management System which provides the laboratory with workflow management, patient demographic storage, advanced query and custom reporting, and infection control and epidemiology analysis BD Phoenix - Starter Kit The BD Phoenix Starter Kit includes: 5 inoculation stations, 2 panel caddies, 1 fixed volume pipette, 960 pipette tips, 1 temperature panel, 4 spare air filters, 1 external bar code scanner, 3 power cords and 1 quick reference guide BD Phoenix Table BD Phoenix - 25 μl Hamilton-Pipette The BD Phoenix 25 μl Hamilton-Pipette is used for the transfer of bacterial suspensions from the inoculated ID Broth tubes to the AST broth tubes in the 0.5 McFarland Mode. BD Phoenix - 50 l Hamilton-Pipette The BD Phoenix 25 μl Hamilton-Pipette is used for the transfer of bacterial suspensions from the inoculated ID Broth tubes to the AST broth tubes in the 0.25 McFarland Mode. BD Phoenix - Inoculation Station The BD Phoenix Inoculation Station is designed to hold six tubes of broth (3 ID, 3 AST) and three panels at an angle of 24 in order to provide the proper gravity-driven inoculum flow of broth through panels during panel inoculation. BD Phoenix - Panel Caddy The BD Phoenix Panel Caddy is a molded plastic tray used to transport filled and sealed panels from the preparation bench to the BD Phoenix instrument. Each caddy can carry up to 20 panels BD Diagnostics Diagnostic Systems Catalog 2008/2009

Used for the proper calibration of a BD Phoenix Nephelometer. BD Phoenix - ID Broth The BD Phoenix ID broth is a modified saline solution that, after addition of bacteria, is used for identification of microorganisms by the BD Phoenix system. The broth is supplied in screw-cap tubes with a volume of 4.5 ml. 1 tube of ID Broth is sufficient to inoculate 1 BD Phoenix panel x 2.2 ml BD Phoenix - Low Volume Broth The BD Phoenix low volume broth is used in case of sparse colony growth in order to reach either a 0.25 or 0.5 McFarland, respectively. In case of an 0.25 McFarland adjustment, 50 μl of ID broth must be transferred to an AST broth instead of 25 μl (this procedure can only be done by using the BD PhoenixSpec Cat.No ). The low volume broth is a modified saline solution that, after addition of bacteria, is used only for susceptibility testing of microorganisms by the BD Phoenix system. The broth is supplied in screw-cap tubes with a volume of 2.2 ml. 1 tube of low volume broth is sufficient to inoculate 1 BD Phoenix panel x 8 ml BD Phoenix - AST Broth The BD Phoenix AST broth is modified Mueller Hinton Broth that, after the addition of AST indicator and bacterial suspension, is used for susceptibility testing of microorganisms by the BD Phoenix system. The broth is supplied in screw-cap tubes with a volume of 8.0 ml. 1 tube of AST Broth is sufficient to inoculate 1 BD Phoenix panel. BD Diagnostics Diagnostic Systems Catalog 2008/
