PCR-based Microbial Antibiotic Resistance Gene Analysis

Inquiry      >
Overview

A major threat to human health that is probable to distribute within communities is perceived as antibiotic resistance. It is accountable for rising mortality rates and poses a massive challenge to the health system. For active surveillance and infection control, genetic classification of these processes of resistance is important. The appearance and qualities of specific β-lactamases perform a crucial part in the selection of suitable antibiotic therapy, as these antibiotics are often chosen to control and treat infectious diseases.

Our Advantages
  • Detailed description of applicable target genes for β-lactamase
  • Identification and discrimination between AmpC β-lactamases
  • supplement phenotypic technique for identifying multidrug-resistant microbes
  • Solutions for efficient surveillance and epidemiological monitoring, and antibiotic management systems
  • Solutions for infectious disease management and prevention-selection of suitable antibiotic treatment

Introduction to Our PCR-based Microbial Antibiotic Resistance Gene Analysis Platform

PCR-based Microbial Antibiotic Resistance Gene Analysis

With diverse implementations such as gene expression analysis, real-time PCR (qPCR) assays have become the instrument of preference for the fast and sensitive identification and quantification of nucleic acid in various biological specimens. For quantitative analysis of gene copy number (gene dosage) in reshaped cell lines or the appearance of mutant genes, qPCR assays are commonly seen in research laboratories. qPCR assays can be utilized in combination with reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) to accurately quantify modifications in gene expression such as an increase or decrease in expression in relation to changing environmental circumstances or drug treatment, by evaluating shifts in the level of cellular mRNA.

PCR-based Microbial Antibiotic Resistance Gene Analysis


qPCR is an effective genotyping and gene expression assessment method. As of now, qPCR tests with an expanding and increasing list of targets from a greater sample size, all with more technical replicates, are becoming more and more intricate. In order to manage the transmission of bacteria, identifying resistance systems is vital and can enable identifying the best therapeutic solutions for patients. In identifying these processes, nucleic acid tests complement standard culture susceptibility testing. CD Genomics utilizes qPCR, including the extraction of DNA from bacterial cells, genetic material amplification, and successive identification using qPCR methods, for microbial antibiotic resistance gene analysis.
