  • The emergence and global spread of carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is of great concern to health services worldwide1
  • Carbapenem resistance results in increased mortality in hospitalized patients and is associated with higher total hospital costs2
  • CPE are multi-drug resistant organisms that can cause serious infections and require interventions in healthcare settings to prevent spread3
  • ECDC and CDC recommend comprehensive infection control measures for patients who are colonized or infected with carbapenemase-producing organisms3.4

Die Lösung

  • Detection and differentiation of patients with the Xpert Carba-R test can quickly alert clinicians and infection preventionists to the presence of gene sequences associated with carbapenem non-susceptibility
  • apid detection and differentiation of the IMP, NDM, or VIM metallo-beta-lactamase gene sequences from pure colonies helps clinicians optimize patient management and direct therapeutic strategy
  • Rectal and perirectal swabs assist with infection control measures*
  • On-demand identification of the most prevalent carbapenemase gene families enables healthcare systems to prevent onward transmission throughout the patient pathway and facilitates more efficient bed management for improved hospital flow5

*With rectal/perirectal swabs, the test is intended as an aid to infection control and is not intended to guide or monitor treatment.

  • Reduced turnaround time enables rapid infection control measure to reduce transmission6.7
  • Minimize the number of bed-days lost due to CPE compared to culture5
  • Decrease in CPE colonization and infection rates with fast PCR results8
