SCOPE OF WORK BACKGROUND "Surveillance and Characterization of the Molecular Resistance Factors of Bacterial Pathogens in USSOUTHCOM AOR". Bacteriology must be able to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against bacterial pathogens isolated from different surveillances. Bacteriology also requires the ability to dentify microbial species present in original patient samples by direct culture. OBJECTIVES Describe the purpose of these supplies and how these will be implemented on the project or protocol. Establish a passive bio-surveillance network for AMR bacterial pathogens in USSOUTHCOM AOR. Identify emerging resistance trends in AMR bacterial pathogens in USSOUTHCOM AOR. Characterize the genotypic and phenotypicfeatures of AMR bacterial pathogens in USSOUTHCOM AOR. Establish a strain collection of AMR bacterial pathogens in USSOUTHCOM AOR that are available to additional research efforts. All these objectives can be met with the use of the pieces of equipment (1) TapeStation Agilent, (2) PackAirwel Plus and multiple antibiotics and other supplies Bacteriology Department intends to purchase with BAC230023. 1
