ETEST® OVERVIEW
ETEST® is a well-established method for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determinations in microbiology laboratories around the world.
It consists of a predefined gradient of antibiotic concentrations immobilized on a plastic strip and is used to determine the MIC of antibiotics and antifungal agents and to detect resistance mechanisms.
ETEST® is the perfect complement of the VITEK® 2 automated system platform for a complete AST solution. Used together, VITEK® 2 and ETEST® meet susceptibility testing requirements for your clinical microbiology laboratory. The synergy between VITEK® 2 and ETEST® helps address challenging situations and provides quantitative MICs for patients.

NEW PRODUCTS
We are pleased to announce new additions to our extensive range of ETEST® products. These products are either developments of new antibiotics or redevelopments of the existing range to better meet your needs.
All new antibiotics need to be prescribed in an appropriate manner to ensure their efficacy is sustained over time. This helps support appropriate antimicrobial therapy decisions for better patient outcomes and contributes to antimicrobial stewardship. ETEST® plays this role for supporting new antibiotic prescription by indicating an organism’s Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) level for antimicrobial susceptibility.
