Drug-Resistant Bacteria Can Raise Sepsis Risk
Sepsis affects an estimated 30 million people worldwide each year and without quick treatment, it can lead to multiple organ failure and death. Treating sepsis can be even more difficult if the bacteria responsible are resistant to antibiotics. More...11 May 2017
Bordetella Direct Test Receives FDA Clearance
It is estimated that there are approximately 16 million cases of pertussis per year globally, with the disease being responsible for 195,000 deaths annually and reported cases of pertussis, known vernacularly as whooping cough, in the USA have spiked since 1955. More...04 May 2017
Bacterial Pathogens Panel Receives CE Marking
A Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel is designed to simultaneously detect Salmonella species, Shigella species, Shiga Toxin-producing E. coli (stx1, stx 2, O157 serotype-specific genes), and Campylobacter species (C. jejuni and C. coli), all significant bacterial pathogens. More...04 May 2017
Automated Test Screens for HTLV-I/II Viruses
Human T-lymphotropic viruses, type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II), were the first human retroviruses discovered and are closely related but distinct retroviruses that can infect humans. HTLV-I is known to cause a type of cancer, referred to as adult T-cell leukemia and lymphoma, and a demyelinating disease called HTLV-I associated myelopathy/Tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP).
