Perfect Score for MIT 1000 on Staphylococcus Single Blind Identification Study
Marketwired - Thu May 21, 5:00AM CDT
Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTCQB: MMTC) announced the result of a blind study conducted with its MIT 1000 System as part of a collaboration with Northern Michigan University (NMU) to identify and differentiate Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The study was conducted by the NMU lab of Josh Sharp, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology, in cooperation with the Microbiology lab at UP Health Systems in Marquette, Michigan to investigate whether the MIT 1000 System was able to detect S. aureus strains isolated from humans. In the single blind study, UP Health Systems provided 90 different previously tested, but unidentified cultures of bacteria to the Sharp lab to determine whether clinical isolates of S. aureus could be identified with the MIT 1000. Clinical isolates might have more variability in characteristics such as size, shape and pigment production compared to laboratory strains and, therefore, more challenging to identify. Out of those 90 samples, the MIT 1000 identified 30 as Staphylococcus species -- a 100% match to the hospital's independent test findings. Not only did the MIT 1000 accurately identify the 30 cultures of various Staphylococcus species, but the remaining 60 non-Staphylococcus cultures tested in the study were correctly ruled out as Staph species (no false positives).
