  2. Agenda • Oxoid and Remel, a brief introduction • Bugs to barcodes in 8 hours • Advances in culture media design

  3. Oxoid – A brief history • In mid 1800’s Mr. von Leibig concerned about malnutrition in Europe • Using left over cattle meat he began to produce a concentrated meat extract for the masses. • Opened first factory in 1861, LEMCO Company registered in London in 1865.

  8. Microbial Identification Microbact™ Remel RapID™ Oxoid Biochemical Identification System (O.B.I.S)

  9. Antibiotic Sensitivity • Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) discs • small paper discs impregnated with an antibiotic Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC) Evaluators™ (M.I.C.E™) StripsM.I.C.E. strips give the minimum inhibitor concentration of an antibiotic
