Indications for Use
Use of HardyDisk™ AST Delafloxacin 5μg (DLX5) , for in vitro agar diffusion susceptibility testing is indicated when there is need to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to Delafloxacin. The concentration of Delafloxacin 5pg (DLXS), has been shown to be active against susceptible isolates of the following microorganisms both in vitro and in clinical infections: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive strains) Staphylococcus haemolyticus Streptococcus pvogenes Streptococcus anginosus Group (including S. anginosus, S. intermedius, S. constellatus) Enterococcus faecalis Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Enterobacter cloacae Pseudomonas aeruginosa The concentration of Delafloxacin 5ug (DLXS), has been shown to be active against susceptible isolates of the following microorganisms for in vitro use: Streptococcus dvsgalactiae Enterobacter aerogenes Haemophilus parainfluenzae Klebsiella oxytoca Proteus mirabilis HardyDisk™ AST Disks are used for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing by the agar diffusion test procedure (Kirby-Bauer) of rapidly growing and certain fastidious bacterial pathogens. Standardized methods for agar diffusion testing have been described for Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp., and by modified procedures, Haemophilus spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis and Streptococcus spp., including Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Device Story
HardyDisk AST Delafloxacin 5μg (DLX5) consists of 6-mm diameter filter paper disks impregnated with 5μg of Delafloxacin. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories for semi-quantitative in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing via the Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion method. Laboratory personnel inoculate agar plates with bacterial isolates, apply disks, and incubate. Following incubation, the user measures the zone of inhibition diameter around the disk. These measurements are compared against established FDA interpretive criteria to categorize the isolate as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to Delafloxacin. This information assists clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with bacterial infections.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance characteristics were established based on studies evaluated by FDA/CDER at the time of Delafloxacin pharmaceutical approval.
Technological Characteristics
Paper disk impregnated with 5 ug of Delafloxacin. Operates via passive diffusion in agar medium (Kirby-Bauer method).
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro agar diffusion susceptibility testing to determine bacterial susceptibility to Delafloxacin. Active against Staphylococcus aureus, S. haemolyticus, Streptococcus pyogenes, S. anginosus Group, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. dysgalactiae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Proteus mirabilis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.
