Ordering, documentation, and research-use details.
Ordering details
50 reactions per kit. Contact Delphine Diagnostics for pricing, availability, and lead time.
Recommended equipment
Runs on standard real-time PCR platforms including ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX96, Roche LightCycler, and Rotor-Gene Q.
Documentation
Product insert, Safety Data Sheet, and approved Instructions for Use can be provided with product documentation.
Shared PathoSeek assay characteristics.
Multiplex, qualitative real-time PCR using TaqMan hydrolysis-probe chemistry.
All targets are detected simultaneously in a single reaction and reported as detected or not detected.
50 reactions per kit.
High sensitivity: detects fewer than 100 copies of target with greater than 95% priming efficiency.
Results in a few hours compared with several days for traditional culture.
Built-in positive, negative, and RNase P internal controls.
Runs on standard real-time PCR platforms including ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX96, Roche LightCycler, and Rotor-Gene Q.
Detection sections available across all four products.
Bacterial Pathogen Detection
- Targets
- Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus
- Description
- A real-time PCR panel for rapid detection of three widely studied bacterial pathogens associated with healthcare-associated infections, environmental contamination, and antimicrobial-resistance research. Suited to infection-control studies, environmental monitoring, and microbial-persistence models.
- Key note
- Detects bacterial DNA only and does not identify resistance markers, including methicillin resistance.
Respiratory Pathogen Detection
- Targets
- Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae
- Description
- A real-time PCR panel targeting three major bacteria linked to pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and meningitis. Supports research into bacterial persistence, transmission pathways, and environmental contamination.
- Key note
- Does not provide antimicrobial-resistance or virulence-factor data.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Gene Detection
- Targets
- NDM, CTX-M, mecA
- Description
- A real-time PCR panel for detecting three key antimicrobial-resistance genes: NDM (resistance to many last-line antibiotics, including carbapenems), CTX-M (resistance to penicillins and broad-spectrum cephalosporins), and mecA (the primary marker associated with MRSA). Built for resistance surveillance, transmission-dynamics, and environmental-reservoir research.
- Key note
- Detecting a resistance gene does not confirm phenotypic resistance, gene expression, or bacterial viability.
Pathogen + Resistance Marker Detection
- Targets
- Candida auris, OXA-48, Van A/B
- Description
- A combined real-time PCR panel detecting the emerging multidrug-resistant yeast Candida auris alongside two resistance markers: OXA-48 (carbapenem resistance) and vanA/vanB (vancomycin resistance). Aimed at surveillance, infection-control, and AMR research.
- Key note
- Detecting OXA-48 or vanA/vanB does not confirm phenotypic resistance without additional testing.
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant Gram-negative bacterium frequently encountered in healthcare settings, known for its ability to cause a range of infections, from pneumonia and bloodstream infections to urinary tract infections.
Research on K. pneumoniae is critical due to the increasing prevalence of multi-drug-resistant strains. This kit enables detection of K. pneumoniae DNA within a sample for use in environmental microbiology, contamination studies, and experimental research models involving microbial pathogens.
