URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) PANEL

ABOUT THE PANEL

PMCDx’s UTI panel uses quantitative real-time PCR reaction to detect microorganisms that may be slow-growing or difficult to cultivate. The customized panel detects 14 molecular pathogens and 9 antibiotic resistance markers.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS (UTIs)

Common health problem in both outpatient and inpatient settings;

  • UTIs account for more than 100,000 hospital admissions annually
  • 30-44% of women will have a UTI recurrence within 6 months of initial infection
  • If untreated, chronic UTIs cause ongoing, debilitating and life-changing symptoms
  • Complicated UTIs can lead to treatment failure and significant morbidity and mortality
  • UTIs are increasingly caused by multidrug-resistant organisms due to overuse of empirical, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy
