Molecular Urinary Tract Infection Test Panel

UTIs are responsible for 7 Million office visits & 1 Million hospital visits in the US.

Up to 30% of UTIs are polymicrobial, driven by biofilm-producing bacteria. Traditional culture-only testing leaves clinicians with no more than a “mixed flora” result, and ultimately empirical treatment.

Standard Urine Culture is missing urologic diseases by only detecting fast growing pathogens, NOT gram positive, slow growing or fastidious bacteria.

Sample collection “contamination” may in fact be polymicrobial UTI infection.

Low level skin contaminates do not interfere.

RESULTS IN 24 HOURS!

 

CirrusDx is bringing diagnostic tools closer to the patient to counteract the challenge presented by antibiotic stewardship and empirical treatment.

MOLECULAR UTI ADVANTAGES

• Robust detection of 24 uropathogens + 3 resistance marker genes.

• Superior detection of polymicrobial infection compared to culture.

• Streamline testing process for recurrent or complicated UTI.

• Monitor ongoing treatment.

• UTI Molecular test can be performed when infections under antibiotic treatment.

• No sub-culturing of organisms.

• Sample taken directly from Urine Specimen.

• True Negative reporting for the uropathogen panel.

• Improves patient outcomes through “Personalized Medicine”.

• Correct treatment the first time.

• Responsible antibiotic stewardship based CDC recommendations.

• Detects any combination of poly microbial infections and organism interaction.

• Proprietary PolyMIC provides “direct in vitro” confirmation of how multiple organisms will respond together within 24 hours.

• Real time quantatative multiplexed PCR assays with predetermined cut-off.

• Detects slow and fastidious growers along with viable and non-viable organisms.

Ground Zero For Antibiotic Stewardship

Antibiotic stewardship is the effort to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients. Improving antibiotic prescribing and use is critical to effectively treat infections, protect patients from harms caused by unnecessary antibiotic use, and combat antibiotic resistance.
