UTI PCR with Colony Count
UTIs are still one of the most commonly diagnosed illnesses in older adults and the #1 reason antibiotics are prescribed in Long Term Care Facilities.
However, more and more UTI Treatments are being comprised due to the development of MDRO’s (Multi-drug Resistant Organisms). What does this mean for patients? Doctors can no longer assume first or second rounds of antibiotics will adequately treat the most common infections or their reoccurrence. Furthermore, advanced diagnostics will be needed to rapidly and accurately identify affected pathogens and rule out the presence of antibiotic resistance.
Brief Swab UTI PCR Collection
For senior living facilities, taking a clean catch urine sample is not always an option. Both the resident and your employees can find it uncomfortable or physically impossible to gather catch urine.
We offer a swab to apply to a wet, saturated brief instead of a clean catch urine sample to make the collection process much simpler.
