Why choose GENETWORx's UTI Testing
The GENETWORx Molecular PCR UTI Test is the Solution
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for millions of physician office visits and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations per year. [1] Minor UTIs can often resolve on their own, but many UTIs can present issues when left untreated, resulting in further complications and even death.[2]
With the evolution of multi-medication resistant organisms, clinical diagnosis of UTIs has become more complex. Up to one-third of UTIs show resistance to antibiotics.[3] As such, the development of advanced diagnostics is critical for accurate identification of the pathogens causing the infection in your patients.
Time is of the essence because an improper diagnosis or ineffective treatment plan for a UTI could cause:
- Ongoing discomfort
- Chronic infections
- Permanent kidney damage
- Urethral narrowing in men
- Life-threatening sepsis [2]
Brief Collection Designed for Senior Living Residents
Collecting a clean catch urine sample is not always an option with senior living residents. It can be unpleasant for the resident and your staff. Sometimes, catch urine collection is not physically possible.
With GENETWORx as your UTI diagnostic laboratory, a swab of a wet, saturated brief is an alternative to a clean catch urine sample and provides a much easier collection process.
The PCR Testing Advantage
Detection
GENETWORx can detect more than 20 different types of pathogens and deliver 99% accurate results within 24-48 hours of lab sample receipt.
Accuracy
GENETWORx molecular pathogen testing is more accurate than standard culture testing. Our molecular pathogen testing detects anaerobic organisms growing deep inside that standard cultures often miss. [4]
Amplification
Using a molecular approach, amplification of testing sample genetic material is faster than standard culture growth and delivers increased sensitivity and a quicker result. [5]
Speed
Our rapid turnaround time is within 24-28 hours from laboratory receipt.
Simplicity
Our simple to read report gives clinicians quick, actionable intelligence to make better treatment decisions.
Identification
Ability to identify pathogens when the patient is on empiric antibiotic treatment.
With molecular testing, not only can you receive a clear picture of the type and percent of pathogens causing the infection, in many cases, you can identify antimicrobial resistance. With the power of molecular testing, you can select the optimal medication therapy for your patient, improve treatment outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.
