Validation of the Streck β-Lactamase kit for screening bacterial isolates
14 Nov 2023
In this video, Flor Hudson, microbiologist for the City of Houston public health lab, discusses the validation of the Streck β-Lactamase kit for screening bacterial isolates. The ARM-D® Kits, providing a rapid detection strategy, aim to enhance antibiotic resistance monitoring for improved AMR surveillance, antibiotic stewardship programs, and infection control. These real-time PCR kits offer comprehensive detection of gene variants not covered by cartridge-based methods, including genes encoding carbapenemases, extended-spectrum β-lactamases, plasmid-mediated ampCs, and other emerging threats.

ARM-D® Kit, β-Lactamase
StreckThe Streck ARM-D Kit, β-Lactamase is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 450 allelic variants in 9 clinically relevant carbapenemases, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated ampC gene families, KPC, NDM, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, DHA, CMY-2, CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15.
