Microbiología for the laboratory
An area that groups together equipment for identifying microorganisms and evaluating their susceptibility to antimicrobials, including automated identification platforms and susceptibility testing (AST).
microbiología guide
Rapid identification of bacteria, yeasts and fungi, detection of resistance mechanisms, support for the rational use of antibiotics and microbiological control in clinical, hospital and pharmaceutical microbiology.
How to choose microbiología
- It depends on the type of microorganisms to be identified
- Whether susceptibility testing is required
- The sample volume
- The degree of automation
- The time to result and integration with the laboratory information systems (LIS/HIS). Specific values come from the catalog (Sanity)
Frequently asked questions about microbiología
What does an automated identification and susceptibility system (ID/AST) do?
It identifies the species of the microorganism and determines its susceptibility to antimicrobials (MIC) within hours, in a standardized way. It replaces manual readings with automated incubation and reading, with interpretation according to current breakpoints (CLSI/EUCAST).
What impact does it have on antimicrobial therapy?
Faster results make it possible to adjust targeted treatment sooner and support antimicrobial stewardship programs in the face of bacterial resistance — today a public health priority.
Does it integrate with the laboratory information system (LIS)?
Modern systems interface with the LIS to transmit validated results without manual transcription, with expert rules that flag rare phenotypes or emerging resistance.
What do I need to operate it in a clinical laboratory in Mexico?
Current sanitary registration, panels with up-to-date breakpoints, documented quality control and local technical support with spare parts. Inolab supports implementation, training and service.
