About Amplidiag
®
CarbaR+MCR (CE-IVD)
Amplidiag®
CarbaR+MCR is a qualitative multiplex PCR test allowing cost-effective
and fast analysis of the most common carbapenemase-producing organisms
and colistin resistance markers. The complete panel includes the
detection of the following genes: KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP, OXA-48, OXA-181, Acinobacter
OXA, MCR and GES. These bacteria may cause multiple antibiotics to
perform inefficiently, which in turn can lead to serious infections,
particularly in healthcare settings. This multiplex PCR test gives
results within a few hours directly from stool samples, rectal swabs or
pure culture as opposed to days with current culture-based screening
methods.
