Hospital Care & Drug Resistance
R-Biopharm Australia offers a powerful suite of molecular diagnostics for hospital care and antimicrobial resistance, enabling rapid, multiplexed detection of critical resistance markers such as carbapenemases, ESBLs, methicillin (mecA), vancomycin resistance genes, and more—all within the same workflow. With IVD-compliant RIDAPlex® panels developed for high-throughput clinical labs, our solutions simplify the complex landscape of nosocomial pathogens and support better antimicrobial stewardship by delivering fast, accurate, clinically actionable results.
CRE & ESBL
A selection of clinically relevant panels that detect resistance markers of enterobacteriaceae which commonly cause infections within healthcare and community settings. High spread levels of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) make testing for resistance increasingly necessary, since carbapenems are one of the few remaining antibiotics that can combat ESBL-producing pathogens. Although mostly effective, resistance enzymes (carbapenemases) that destroy these antibiotics pose serious public health concern.
These panels detect a representative selection of simple β-lactamases, extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemases. The selection of targets in each panel reflects the relevance of ESBL or CRE in different geographical regions.
