Personalized UTI Diagnosis: PCR + Culture Combined
UTIs are prevalent outpatient infections, yet existing diagnostic methods fall short. AccessDx Laboratory developed a comprehensive UTI panel combining traditional culture methods and PCR detection of bacterial and fungal pathogens and antibioticresistance genes. By combining PCR and AST results with bioinformatics from Strand's PQRS portal, providers can deliver personalized care at the point of care.
