CD BioSciences, a biofilm testing company, announced the launch of its innovative biofilm antimicrobial susceptibility testing services designed to provide insights into the efficacy of antimicrobial agents against biofilm-forming microorganisms and address the growing challenge of biofilm-associated infections.
Biofilms, complex communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix, are notorious for their resilience and resistance to conventional antimicrobial therapies. They are a significant cause of chronic infections and pose a substantial challenge in clinical settings, particularly in patients with implantable devices or compromised immune systems. Biofilms cause resistance to many antimicrobial agents. The result of indwelling biofilms on medical devices is recurring, untreatable infections and medical device failure. To overcome chronic and recurrent infections, it is important to detect microbial biofilms and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility. In addition, identifying genes involved in biofilm formation and measuring gene expression due to anti-biofilm and antibacterial activity of agents may be beneficial in biofilm research.
Recognizing the urgent need for more effective testing methodologies, CD BioSciences provides a suite of state-of-the-art biofilm antimicrobial susceptibility testing services that utilize cutting-edge technologies. These include high-throughput screening, advanced imaging techniques, and sophisticated data analysis algorithms that provide comprehensive insights into microbial susceptibility within biofilm structures.
“Our cutting-edge biofilm testing platform combines advanced detection technologies including microfluidics, imaging techniques, and advanced data analytics,” said the marketing manager at CD BioSciences. “This integrated approach not only streamlines the testing process but also enhances the accuracy and reproducibility of results, ultimately guiding effective treatment strategies against biofilm-related infections.”
Key features of CD BioSciences’ biofilm antimicrobial susceptibility testing include:
-Cutting-edge technologies: CD BioSciences utilizes advanced approaches such as the MBEC assay, bMIC and bMBC assays, flow cell, and Calgary biofilm device, guaranteeing high accuracy and reliability in antimicrobial susceptibility results, enhancing the overall quality of antimicrobial susceptibility testing services.
-Comprehensive Analysis: The service evaluates the susceptibility of various antimicrobial agents on diverse microbial strains, providing detailed susceptibility profiles tailored to specific research scenarios.
-Customized Solutions: CD BioSciences will work closely with clients to design assays that meet their specific research needs, ensuring that the testing parameters align with project goals.
The biofilm antimicrobial susceptibility testing from CD BioSciences represents a significant advancement in the battle against biofilm-associated infections, which pose a serious challenge in scientific community settings. By utilizing biofilm testing protocols, CD BioSiences can provide researchers with the information they need to make informed decisions about antibiotic therapy.
