Check-KPC ESBL
Control KPC and ESBL
CarbapenemaseKPC
ESBLCTX-M, TEM and SHV
The Need
- The prevalence of ESBL is growing at an alarming rate.
- Although prevalence of Carbapenemases is low, KPC is a growing threat due to its nature and high risk of further spreading.
- Phenotypic methods in use today overstate the ESBL problem, leading to costly unnecessary patient isolation and inappropriate treatment.
- For non-E. coli and non-Klebsiella these methods often fail to identify ESBL and KPC.
The Solution: Check-KPC ESBL
- A molecular assay.
- Simultaneous identification of KPC and the clinically prevalent ESBL genes.
- High sensitivity and specificity for all species.
- Results can be obtained within 6 hours.
- Includes software for instant automated analysis of results.
For research use only in the US.
