Description

The Bacteriology Department U.S. NAMRU SOUTH collects large number of samples to identify patterns in drug resistant pathogens. Samples come from multiple Lima and Iquitos hospital sites as well as from other collaborating sites, such as Soto-Cano Base in Honduras, NAMRU SOUTH IRB approved protocols such as NAMRU6.2017.0012; NAMRU6.2013.0024. Performing analysis and tests under mentioned protocols to be able to perform work in molecular biology and immunology is a must.

“Acquiring the Phoenix M50 instrument will continue significantly enhance NAMRU SOUTH’s research capabilities, as it incorporates the application of antimicrobial resistance detection

Currently, we have a Phoenix M50 in JTF-B but out of service we need to replace it to continue identifying microorganisms. This equipment, acquired 8 years ago, now needs expensive repairs and pieces to be replaced, making it increasingly difficult to continue working the workload.

Conclusion: Acquiring this system will keep NAMRU South at the forefront of research, aligning with one of the institution's key objectives.”
