Rapid infectious disease test Xpert® Carba-R

for bacteriafor carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceaemolecular

The emergence and global spread of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO) is of great concern to health services worldwide These bacteria are often resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics and frequently co-resistant to most other antibiotics, leaving very few treatment options Healthcare facilities need the ability to test high-risk patients and get an accurate result quickly during or prior to the admission process for better patient and bed management Traditional enriched culture methods are laborious, taking up to 72 hours for a result To address this infection control challenge, it is desirable to have a rapid, accurate, and easy to use on-demand PCR test A comprehensive test that detects and differentiates the most prevalent carbapenemases gene families (KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP-1 and OXA-48, now covering OXA-181 and OXA- 232) is important for a successful infection control program The Solution Xpert Carba-R is an on-demand PCR test that detects and differentiates the most prevalent carbapenemases gene families (KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP-1 and OXA-48, Xpert Carba-R provides rapid and accurate detection of CPO; giving you actionable information to help prevent outbreaks and help determine the best patient management pathway Enhance your infection control program with Xpert Carba-R by identifying patients that are colonized with CPO quickly Xpert Carba-R identifies the specific genes that code for carbapenemase production that common culture methods alone cannot provide.
