Molecular Culture® ID for Bacterial Pericarditis Diagnostics
The Challenge of Bacterial Pericarditis.
Bacterial pericarditis is a life-threatening condition with mortality rates as high as 30% if untreated. Diagnosing it with traditional culture methods can take up to 7 days, delaying treatment and increasing the risk of complications like purulent pericarditis.
The solution: Molecular Culture® ID.
Molecular Culture® ID provides rapid, precise identification of bacterial pathogens within hours. Using advanced untargeted PCR and profiling, it outperforms traditional methods and detects bacteria in both mono- and polymicrobial infections.
The Impact in Healthcare.
- Accelerates dignosis: delivers results in hours instead of days.
- Enhanced detection: identifies a broad range of bacteria, including those missed by traditional culture methods.
- Improves outcomes: Reduces the risk of delays in treatment, unnecessary interventions, and associated complications.
Clinical Performance of Molecular Culture® ID.
A study of 42 pericardial effusion samples demonstrates the superior performance of Molecular Culture® ID compared to traditional bacterial culture. This innovative technology ensures faster, more accurate diagnostics, empowering clinicians to make informed decisions and improve patient outcomes significantly.
Molecular Culture® ID detected bacteria in almost twice as many samples as traditional culture.
