What is PCR Testing?
Accelerating Care with Swift, Reliable Diagnostics
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive and specific molecular testing technique that amplifies small amounts of DNA, allowing for the detection of infectious agents, genetic variations, and other biomarkers. Our PCR testing services cover a wide range of applications, including infectious disease diagnosis, and genetic testing.
Benefits of PCR Testing for UTIs
Rapid turnaround times, enabling quicker diagnosis and treatment initiation
Unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity in detecting pathogens and genetic markers
Early detection of diseases leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs
PCR vs. Culture & Sensitivity
Beyond Culture: PCR’s Superior Approach to UTI Diagnosis
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
- PQuick results expedites treatment decision
- PEnhanced accuracy minimizes false results
- PResistance gene detection for antibiotic selection
- PPCR will provide a result
- PPromotes antibiotic stewardship
Culture & Sensitivity
- OExtended turnaround time postpones treatment
- OHigher potential for false negatives
- OCultures may overlook pathogens that resist cultivation
- OElusive/slow growth pathogens result as "no growth"
- OSlow resulting creates poor antibiotic stewardship
