Part Descriptions

LP17167-5   Meropenem
Meropenem is an ultra-broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of infections, including meningitis and pneumonia. It is a beta-lactam and belongs to the subgroup carbapenem. Meropenem was developed by Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals. It is marketed outside Japan by AstraZeneca under the brand names Merrem® and Meronem®. Unlike imipenem, it is not affected by the renal dehydrogenase and can therefore be given without cilastatin. It penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid. Meropenem is less likely to cause seizures compared to imipenem. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

LP6300-0   Gradient strip
A gradient strip is a reagent strip that contains a predefined concentration gradient of a specific antibiotic or combination of antibiotics that is used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and antimicrobial resistance detection (ARD).
For AST, the result is reported in terms of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a specific antimicrobial that prevents the visible growth of bacteria. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip" method is used for AST gradient strips that result in an MIC result.
For ARD, the result is reported as the presence or absence of a specific enzyme or other mechanism that confers resistance, which is determined based on comparing the inhibitory concentration (IC) of a specific antimicrobial with the IC of that antimicrobial plus a resistance inhibitor. In LOINC, the "Gradient strip ARD" method is used for ARD gradient strips, which are not intended for determining individual MIC values. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
