-
SUBSTANTIAL TEST MENU: Detect up to 16 UTIs, 14 STIs, and 5 antibiotic resistant targets
-
SENSITIVITY: PCR testing is significantly more sensitive than standard culture testing
-
SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING: Antibiotic Resistance Testing information quickly and simultaneously streamlines treatment options, reducing the possibility of further complications
-
SIMPLICITY: Simple, easy-to-read report providing all information necessary for diagnosis and treatment
HELPING PEOPLE IS OUR ETHOS
URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) TESTING:
• Defined by the presence of bacteria in the urine
• UTIs are infections in the urine system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra)
• Women are at a greater risk of developing a UTI
COMMON SYMPTOMS
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION (STI) TESTING:
- Infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact
- Infections that happen when bacteria, parasites, or viruses enter the body
- Those infected may not have symptoms but can still pass infections on to others
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE TESTING:
-
The measurement of the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics (to guide treatment)
-
Can be determined by the detection of genes that are known to cause antibiotic resistance
-
When bacteria is resistance to treatment, infections can become much more dangerous
As a CAP-accredited laboratory, all of our testing methods follow rigorous requirements and CAP-approved validation standards. We participate in proficiency testing (PT) programs to ensure the accuracy of our test results and the highest standards for patient care and safety.
