Testing with high sensitivity and specificity, our urinary tract infection (UTI) real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is a comprehensive molecular assay that detects; (which a traditional culture cannot detect)
If pathogens are detected then reflex PCR testing for detection of antibiotic resistance (ABR) gene markers will be performed. This reflex test assists health care providers in efficiently selecting the appropriate antibiotics for their patients.
Our laboratory can identify the organism responsible for the UTI and the antibiotic resistance genes within 24 HOURS of receiving the specimen.
While traditional urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing are still gold standard for UTI workup, UTI PCR is providing to be powerful tool capable of identifying UTI pathogens and antibiotic resistance at a much FASTER turn-around time than traditional methods thus resulting in a much FASTER and EFFECTIVE treatment for patients to avoid further complications.
It is a tool to help healthcare providers prevent prescription of ineffective antibiotics and delays in treatment as well as a decrease unnecessary testing thus decreasing healthcare costs.
We believe the antibiotic resistance crisis is fueled by providers not having a rapid and accurate diagnostic solution. Providers have had to overprescribe antibiotics prophylactically, while waiting on a diagnosis. Culture and sensitivity has been failing providers for years and yet there has been minimal advancement in commercial practice to replace it. At Monarch Global Labs, we are committed to:
