Wound Infection (WND) testing by molecular technique

Quantitative PCR allows physicians to quickly identify the source of an infection at the molecular level. This highly sensitive and specific diagnostic testing method is greater than 95% accurate in identifying a variety of fungal/bacterial infection sources, including drug-resistant strains, from a single patient sample, in as little as 24 - 48 hours.

Molecular detection methods, including quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) have spurred a paradigm shift in molecular diagnostic testing. These modern tools can accurately identify pathogenic fungal or bacterial infection sources, including antibiotic resistance markers, much faster (1-2 days) as compared with common culture methods (>2 weeks). Physicians are able to diagnose and develop treatment plans much sooner, thereby improving patient care.
