Urethral Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the fifth most common healthcare-associated infection, and if left untreated can lead to a serious kidney infection. Each year, 8 to 10 million hospital visits are for UTIs. Current culture-based methods for the identification of UTI pathogens often lack sensitivity and accuracy and can take days to yield results.
Atila’s iAMP® UISolution Assay is a rapid, accurate, and affordable isothermal assay that can detect and identify 15 groups of common UTI pathogens by the presence of their DNA in a urine sample. This technology can detect pathogens that are sometimes missed by culture methods and delivers results in 90 minutes.
