Acuitas Tests

Identify presence of antibiotic resistance quickly and with high sensitivity and specificity.

Make better informed infection control decisions.

Detects genes associated with CRE, Carbapenemase Producers, CTX-M related ESBLs, and VRE directly from one swab*.

  • Coverage of more than 200 sub-types.
  • Results delivered from OpGen Clinical Services Laboratory within 24 hours of receipt of specimens.

*Validated for peri-anal swabs collected with Eswabs™ (trademark of Copan Diagnostics, Inc). Culture isolates also validated.

 

Quickly screen for antibiotic resistance genes and confirm the presence of CRE

From one surveillance swab*, test specimens with the Acuitas MDRO Gene Test and phenotypic methods to confirm presence of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).

  • Highly sensitive carbapenemase gene detection.
  • Isolate obtained from CRE Selective Culture.
  • ID/AST confirms organism identity and antibiotic susceptibility profile.
  • Receive MDRO Gene Test results from OpGen Clinical Laboratory Services within 24 hours of specimen receipt, get notified of CRE isolate growth within 48 hours, and receive ID/AST reports within 72 hours.

*Validated for peri-anal swabs collected with Eswabs™. Culture isolates also validated.

 

Rapid and comprehensive genotyping of MDRO isolates

Characterize isolates by genes of resistance to determine strain relatedness in days.

Acuitas Resistome Test

  • Creates Molecular Profile – Resistome results are used to create objective , gene-based “digital” profiles in the Acuitas Lighthouse MDRO Management System.
  • Comprehensive – Detects 46 genes associated with major drug resistance classes: Carbapenemases (including plasmid mediated CRE genes), ESBL, & AmpCs.
  • Accurate – 99% concordance to resistance gene detection with Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS).
  • Rapid – 24 hour turnaround time from laboratory receipt of specimen.
  • Informative – quickly determines differences among isolates and selects candidates for higher resolution Acuitas Whole Genome Sequence Analysis.
  • Analysis available from culture isolates.

Coverage of 46 resistance genes and over 900 subtypes of CRE, ESBL and AmpCs

 

Comprehensive gene menu
protects patients and
aids clinical decisions.
