Carbapenem based antibiotics have become the first line choice in the treatment of ESBL infections. Of significant global concern therefor is the emergence of carbapenem resistant (CPO) bacteria in healthcare settings, as standard treatments may be rendered ineffective.

Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most commonly used antibiotics worldwide for the treatment of bacterial infections. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms hydrolyze cephalosporins, penicillins, and aztreonam, rendering them ineffective for the treatment of infected patients. This makes accurate and timely detection of ESBL and Carbapenemase Producing Organisms (CPO) important as it will have a significant impact on patient management.

Bacterial meningitis develops quickly and requires immediate medical attention, as it can be fatal without prompt treatment. Several types of bacteria can cause meningitis. The Genetic Signatures` Bacterial Meningitis ASRs have been designed to detect the most common bacterial meningitis-causing infections.

Fungal meningitis is rare and can develop after a fungus spreads from somewhere else in the body to the brain or spinal cord. The Genetic Signatures Fungal Meningitis ASRs has been designed to detect a common fungal causing pathogen.
