iAMP® Streptococcus pneumoniae Detection Kit

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major bacterial pathogen that causes a wide range of invasive and non-invasive diseases. It is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and can also cause meningitis, bacteremia (bloodstream infection), and sinus or ear infections. These illnesses can develop quickly and are especially dangerous for young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems, often leading to hospitalization, long-term complications, or death if untreated. Because symptoms often overlap with other respiratory or bacterial infections, fast and accurate testing is essential to distinguish S. pneumoniae from other pathogens. Rapid and reliable testing enables faster treatment decisions, assists in  preventing complications, and improves patient outcomes while reducing the spread of infection.

The iAMP® Streptococcus pneumoniae Detection Kit provides a simple, extraction-free workflow and delivers accurate results in under 90 minutes. Using Atila’s proprietary real-time isothermal PCR technology researchers can directly detect S. pneumoniae DNA from respiratory swabs, cerebrospinal fluid, whole blood, or plasma.
