Streck, Omaha, Neb, has introduced a new line of antibiotic resistance monitoring and detection (ARM-D) kits. The Streck ARM-D kit, ampC, and Streck ARM-D kit, ?-lactamase, are multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction kits that can detect more than 450 ?-lactamase gene targets. The kits are designed to detect the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae genes currently on the urgent threat list of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as additional emerging threats. The Streck ARM-D kits are a genotypic detection method that can be used to identify the most prevalent types of ?-lactamase-based antibiotic resistance. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. For more information, visit Streck.
