Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter, especially Acinetobacter baumannii, pose a serious threat in the hospital environment.  The carbapenem hydrolysing oxacillinases are the most commonly reported resistance determinants in Acinetobacter, amongst these oxacillinases OXA-23 is the most prevelant.

RESIST OXA-23 detects this resistance determinant direct from culture in under 20 minutes, therefore offering guidance to appropriate antibiotic treatment 24 hours after the laboratory receives a sample for 'culture & sensitivity'.
