The Streck ARM-D Kit, ampC is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This kit detects multiple variants and differentiates plasmid-mediated ampC resistance from chromosomal resistance in the following gene families: CMY-2, DHA, ACC, EBC, FOX and MOX.
Product Description
The Streck ARM-D Kit, ampC is part of a family of comprehensive, multiplex real-time PCR kits that detect over 1,000 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene variants from 26 different gene target families. Streck ARM-D Kits provide a rapid detection strategy for monitoring β-lactam antibiotic resistance to improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs. The ARM-D ampC kit detects over 200 variants in 6 clinically relevant resistance gene families and can differentiate plasmid-mediated ampC β-lactamase resistance from chromosomal resistance.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
A CE version of this kit is also available.
Features
- Detects 6 antimicrobial resistance gene targets and over 200 variants
- Protocol can be completed in less than one hour
- Compatible with most 4-channel real-time PCR thermal cyclers
- Includes a premixed 2X master mix: DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and reaction buffer
- Includes positive controls for each gene target to monitor analytical process
- Amplification protocol and analysis guides available
Benefits
- Avoid false negatives; detect gene variants not covered by cartridge-based kits
- Detect resistance mechanisms prior to obtaining susceptibility results
- Batch testing reduces cost per sample compared to cartridge-based methods
- Ensure accurate and reliable results with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity
- Screen bacterial isolates for AMR genes to complement phenotypic testing
- Improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs
