The Sensititre® YeastOne® Susceptibility system is a micro-version of the broth dilution susceptibility test. Various antifungal agents are serially diluted to concentrations bridging the range of the clinical interest in autoclaved diluent, which contains a colorimetric growth indicating compound. Each micro-dilution plate is individually packaged in foil. After inoculation, plates are sealed with an adhesive seal, incubated at 35°C for 24 hours and examined for growth.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials containing a range of antimicrobial agents e.g., (antibacterial/antibiotic, antifungal/antimycotic and/or antimycobacterial) that may be impregnated on individual testing discs, in a strip format or a microplate, intended to be used to determine the susceptibility profile of a specific pathogen (bacterium, fungus and/or Mycobacterium), in a clinical specimen and/or culture isolate.
