Septic infections
Septic infections, or sepsis, are life-threatening conditions caused by a dysregulated immune response to bloodstream infections. Rapid identification of the causative pathogens is critical for initiating timely and targeted antimicrobial therapy, reducing morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Septic infection PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide sensitive and specific detection of major sepsis-associated pathogens such as Streptococcus agalactiae, from human blood samples. These include key bacteria such as Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS), and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support early pathogen identification of bloodstream infections, ICU (Intensive Care Unit) monitoring, emergency laboratory settings and sepsis management from clinical samples.
