The Federation of Infection Societies conference (FIS) is the largest UK-hosted, international infection conference.

The message is keep it simple, keep it room temperature, and keep it accurate by keeping it lyophilised!

The rise of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) poses a significant challenge to global healthcare. As noted by the CDC, "CRE are usually resistant to all β-lactam agents as well as most other classes of antimicrobial agents," leaving healthcare providers with very limited treatment options. Inadequate detection of these pathogens can result in healthcare-associated outbreaks, making early identification and isolation crucial to preventing transmission. CHROMagar™ mSuperCARBA—a next-generation chromogenic medium designed for the sensitive detection of a wide array of carbapenemases, including KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP, and OXA. This innovative medium achieves an impressive limit of detection (10 CFU/mL), even for weakly expressed carbapenemases like OXA-48, all while maintaining high selectivity. Key Features of CHROMagar™ mSuperCARBA: • Highly Sensitive: Detects most carbapenemases, including OXA-48, overnight. • Limit of Detection: Sensitivity of 10 CFU/mL for identifying low-level producers. • Selective and Specific: Inhibits beta-lactam susceptible bacteria, ESBL, and AmpC hyperproducers. • Rapid Results: Provides results within 18-24 hours. Empower your laboratory with the capabilities to combat carbapenem resistance effectively ➡ https://bit.ly/4b8M6o0 #Microbiology #InfectionControl #CarbapenemResistance #CRE #Diagnostics #PublicHealth #RapidTesting #CHROMagar
