This category includes in vitro diagnostic kits designed to test how susceptible bacteria are to various antibiotics. These kits contain multiple antibiotic agents at different concentrations, allowing laboratories to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for a range of antibacterials against a specific to a cultured bacterial isolate from a patient sample.
Such devices are used to guide clinical decisions about appropriate antibiotic therapy by measuring the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that prevents visible growth of a microorganism. They are regulated as in vitro diagnostic medical devices and are intended for use in laboratory settings following standard microbiological procedures.
