Manufacturers of MH-F and FAA plates to contact EUCAST

Manufacturers and distributors of prepoured MH-F and FAA agar plates for EUCAST susceptibility testing by disk diffusion of fastidious (medium MH-F with horse blood) and anaerobic species (medium FAA with horseblood) are encouraged to contact EUCAST. We have been asked to map the capability and capacity of manufacturers and distributors of these plates. The aim is for EUCAST to publish on its website a table or map informing laboratories as to the national/regional availability of media in different parts of the world.

EUCAST will start by compiling a list of relevant media manufacturers and distributors each of which will then be asked to respond to a short series of relevant questions. Report company name and contact information to EUCAST via gunnar.kahlmeter[at]eucast.org.
