BioSherpa™ STS diagnosed Staphylococcus aureus despite antibiotic treatment even after the sample was frozen for almost 3 weeks.
BioSherpa
™ STS
has the ability to grow a causative pathogen even after being frozen.
BioSherpa™ STS (all dishes pictured to the left) was able to grow S. aureus despite the use of antibiotics AND being frozen. In addition much heavier growth can be seen compared to control (below).
The control sample yielded inferior results.
All dishes to the left show the sample collected using standard collection methods. The control showed inferior growth and did not grow the S. aureus.
