Certest™ VIASURE Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae Real Time PCR Detection Kit 6 x 8-well strips, Low Profile

Certest™ VIASURE Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae Real Time PCR Detection Kit 6 x 8-well strips, Low Profile

VIASURE Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of the main carbapenemase-encoding genes (NDM, VIM, OXA, KPC and/or IMP) from bacterial isolates of clinical samples and directly from rectal swabs from individuals suspected of infection by carbapenem-resistant pathogens by their healthcare professional (HCP).

This test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in combination with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. DNA is extracted from bacterial isolates and rectal swabs samples, amplified using real time PCR, and detected using fluorescent reporter dye probes specific for carbapenemase-encoding genes.
