- All-in-one cartridge, no cross-contamination
Ongoing Challanges
- Carbapenem-Resistence Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are difficult to treat because they do not respond to commonly used antibiotics. Occasionally, CRE are resistant to all available antibiotics. CRE are a threat to public health.
- Enterobacteriaceae are a large order of different types of germs (bacteria) that commonly cause infections in healthcare settings. Enterobacteriaceae bacteria are constantly finding new ways to avoid the effects of the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause.
Clinical Value
- Swiftly detect CRE infections, expediting patient diagnosis and treatment
- Aid timely adjustment of treatment plans, enhancing treatment efficacy.
- Facilitate prompt identification of infections, enabling effective infection control measures and preventing disease spread.
- Save time and labor, improving the efficiency of medical resource utilization.
