A team of Clinical Laboratory Scientists specializing in microbiology and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). We process >1,000 multidrug resistant bacteria every month from partners and maintaining a biorepository of isolates.

  


 
 

Our Work:

  
             
 

  • Confirmatory species identification.

  • Extended antimicrobial susceptibility testing (e.g. Aztreonam/Avibactam, Cefepime/Taniborbactam, Cefiderocol, Colistin, Eravacycline, Omadacycline, and Sulbactam/Durlobactam) by Sensititre, Broth Microdilution, and/or Etest.

  • Rapid Carbapenemase detection using Carba5®.

  • Repository of >144,000 isolates and metadata in sync with the ARMoR-Database.

  • Providing logistical support to CONUS and OCONUS Military treatment facilities and collaborators.
