Sepsis, a life-threatening condition resulting from the body's extreme response to an infection, demands swift and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. The Bio-Speedy® Sepsis qPCR MX-30T Panel emerges as a game-changer, offering a Real-Time PCR test designed to detect bacterial and fungal agents, along with antimicrobial resistance genes associated with sepsis. In this blog post, we delve into the key features and benefits of this innovative diagnostic tool that holds the potential to transform sepsis management. Sepsis is a blood infection with many causative agents and can affect many body systems. It happens when the body shows dysregulated and extreme reactions to the disease. Every year, sepsis affects 20-30 million people worldwide. The recovered patient might see post-sepsis effects. Early stages of sepsis usually go unnoticed, thus preventing early treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment increase the chance of living by 80%. A wrong diagnosis can lead to a waste of time and the improper use of drugs. The unnecessary use of drugs causes antibiotic resistance. Bioeksen Blood Infection Solutions help with an accurate diagnosis, effective use of hospital resources, and securing patient health. A wide pathogen scale helps with a precise diagnosis, and antibiotic resistance gene identification helps choose the proper treatment.

Timely Detection Saves Lives: The urgency of sepsis treatment cannot be overstated, and early diagnosis is paramount. The Bio- Speedy® panel targets specific genomic DNA regions and mRNA transcripts, providing results in less than 60 minutes. Rapid nucleic acid extraction from whole blood and positive blood culture samples ensures a swift response, offering a critical window for initiating appropriate treatment.

Swift and Accurate Diagnosis: Genient Technologies addresses the critical need for timely detection with the Bio-Speedy® Sepsis qPCR MX-30T Panel. This Real-Time PCR test is designed to qualitatively detect bacterial and fungal agents, as well as antimicrobial resistance genes associated with sepsis. The rapid nucleic acid extraction process and multiplex RT-qPCR technology enable results in less than 60 minutes, providing healthcare professionals with a valuable window for initiating appropriate treatment promptly.

Unprecedented Sensitivity and Specificity: The sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test are crucial metrics, and the Bio-Speedy® panel excels in both. With a sensitivity of 97.10% for whole blood culture and 82.00% for positive blood culture, coupled with high specificity rates, this test instills confidence in accurate identification of sepsis-causing agents.

  • Sensitivity for Whole Blood Culture: 97.10%
  • Sensitivity for Positive Blood Culture: 82.00%
  • Specificity for Whole Blood Culture: 99.30%
  • Specificity for Positive Blood Culture: 98.30%

Limit of Detection (LoD): Positive blood culture samples: between 100-500 cfu/mL Whole blood samples: between 500-1000 cfu/mL The LoD is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness of a diagnostic tool. The Bio-Speedy® panel showcases impressive performance, detecting as low as 100-500 cfu/mL for positive blood culture samples and 500-1000 cfu/mL for whole blood samples. This sensitivity ensures the identification of even low levels of infectious agents, contributing to the reliability of the test.

Validated Equipment for Precision: To ensure the accuracy of results, the Bio-Speedy® panel is validated for use with specific equipment, including the Zybio EXM3000 Nucleic Acid Isolation System and Real-Time PCR detection systems such as Bio-Rad's CFX96 Touch™ and Magnetic Induction Cycler (Mic). This validation underscores the commitment to precision and reliability in sepsis diagnosis.

Comprehensive Agent Coverage: The Bio-Speedy® panel doesn't just stop at identifying bacterial and fungal agents; it goes a step further by detecting specific antimicrobial resistance genes. This comprehensive approach equips healthcare professionals with essential information for tailoring antimicrobial treatments effectively.

A Glimpse Into the Target Agents: The panel covers a spectrum of fungal agents, including Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, and more. Antimicrobial resistance genes such as VanA, VanB, and mecA+C, along with a roster of bacterial agents like Neisseria meningitidis and Staphylococcus aureus, showcase the breadth of coverage provided by this innovative diagnostic tool.
