Guidance - Model UTI - Home Collection Diagnostic Testing Kits
More informed treatment decisions in less than one day. Precision diagnostic testing with rapid results for the management of complicated, recurrent or persistent UTIs and elevated risk patients. Guidance® UTI provides personalized results in less than one day from receipt at lab, while culture can take 3-5 days, reducing the need for empiric therapy and supporting antibiotic stewardship initiatives. Results are summarized in an easy- to-read report showing therapy options based on the patient’s individual infection.
Product Details
ORGANISM IDENTIFICATION (PCR)
27 individual organisms and 3 bacterial groups, developed using an evidence based analysis of uropathogens
RESISTANCE GENE DETECTION (PCR)
32 resistance genes and 6 different classes of antibiotics
POOLED ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING (P-AST™)
Pooled Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (P-AST™) accounts for bacterial interactions that occur in polymicrobial infections that may alter antibiotic resistance
Guidance UTI
Delivers results in an easy to read report in less than one day from receipt at lab
Guidance® UTI is an advanced test that better addresses polymicrobial infections in difficult cases, where bacterial interactions can impact antibiotic resistance.
Advantages
RAPID RESULTS
Guidance® UTI provides personalized results in less than one day from receipt at lab, while culture can take 3-5 days, reducing the need for empiric therapy and supporting antibiotic stewardship initiatives.
Results are summarized in an easy- to-read report showing therapy options based on the patient’s individual infection.
IMPROVED SENSITIVITY
Guidance® UTI uses PCR technology to identify commonly tested uropathogens, including fastidious bacteria, yeasts, and viruses that are difficult to detect by culture. Guidance UTI has demonstrated 95% sensitivity when identifying organisms, which is 43% more sensitive than culture.1 High sensitivity helps ensure accurate pathogen identification and UTI diagnosis.
BETTER ADDRESSES POLYMICROBIAL UTIs
Guidance® UTI identifies specific pathogenic organisms and effective treatments for polymicrobial infections, which have been shown to occur in up to 52% of positive cases.1 While culture may return these results as “contaminated” or “mixed flora”, Guidance UTI identifies the specific uropathogens in the specimen – even when multiple organisms are present.
ALLOWS FOR MORE INFORMED TREATMENT DECISIONS
Rather than relying on resistance gene information alone, Guidance® UTI provides personalized therapy options by using Pooled Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (P-AST™), a unique technology that accounts for bacterial interactions that occur in polymicrobial infections that may alter antibiotic resistance.2
