product description
If there is not enough time for a comprehensive antibiogram and a carbapenemase detection is required quickly, or simply as an alternative to testing in agar diffusion or agar dilution, then the RESIST-5 offers an ideal solution:
- Identification and differentiation of the clinically relevant carbapenemases (Oxa-48, KPC, NDM, VIM) is crucial for correct and timely antibiotic therapy
- Fastest solution for critically ill patients, e.g. with suspected sepsis
- Can be used after bacterial cultivation or even directly from a positive blood culture
- Time savings of up to 3 days
- Fast and safe: results after max. 15 minutes with 100% sensitivity and specificity vs. PCR
- Super-easy implementation and clear reading: Can be carried out in any laboratory without additional equipment
- In contrast to PCR, cheaper, faster and also Can be used for individual samples
- Not genotypic, only carbapenemases of metabolically active pathogens are detected
- Support in epidemiological monitoring and hygiene management
** Tests for individual CPE -Mechanisms available upon request **
