MLP - Multiplex Urinary Tract Infection Assay, 96 well, 4 panels per plate (Breakaway Plates)

Product Description

The Urinary Tract/Wound panel is an in-vitro multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the qualitative identification of nucleic acids from organisms frequently found in the urinary tract and wounds. This method a highly accurate, analytically sensitive, and is used to identify organisms by amplifying and detecting genetic material of pathogens in samples. The panel will aid in the research of causative agents of urinary tract and wound infections and their prevalence. 

The target organisms included in the panel are as follows:

Acinetobacter baumannii, Bacteroides fragilis, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter koseri, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidemidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A). Antibiotic Resistance Markers present are as follows: β-lactamase (blaKPC), β-lactamase (CTX-M-Group 1), metallo-βlactamase (blaNDM), Fluoroquinolones (qnr), Methicillin/Oxacillin (mecA), Sulfonamides (sul), Trimethoprim (dfrA), and Vancomycin (vanA, vanB).
