Hospital Care & Drug Resistance

CRE & ESBL

A selection of clinically relevant panels that detect resistance markers of enterobacteriaceae which commonly cause infections within healthcare and community settings. High spread levels of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) make testing for resistance increasingly necessary, since carbapenems are one of the few remaining antibiotics that can combat ESBL-producing pathogens. Although mostly effective, resistance enzymes (carbapenemases) that destroy these antibiotics pose serious public health concern.
These panels detect a representative selection of simple β-lactamases, extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemases. The selection of targets in each panel reflects the prevalence of ESBL or CRE in different geographical regions.

Encephalitis, Meningitis, & Herpes

Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is crucial for the diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) infections. Molecular methods for the detection and identification of bacterial and viral pathogens have demonstrated value for patients with clinical symptoms consistent with CNS infection.
Syndromic testing panels that detect bacteria which are likely to infect the CNS such as Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Listeria monocytogenes or Escherichia coli are recommended.
PCR has also become the standard for detecting viruses associated with aseptic meningitis or encephalitis especially for Enterovirus and Parechovirus. Depending on the age and immune status of the patient, there are many other viruses which can cause infection. These include Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Enterovirus (EV), and human Parechovirus (HPeV).
