WOUND PATHOGEN PANEL

Wound Pathogen Panel Testing
For Wound Testing at Genesis Laboratories, RT-PCR is used, the industry's highest standard. With our PCR platform, we can diagnose more accurately than point of care or culture methods with 99% of common aerobic, anaerobic, and microaerophilic bacteria, viruses, fungal infections, and polymicrobial infections.
A Genetics Laboratories test report will show the doctor Resistance Markers for the specific antibiotic needed to treat the infection, so he or she can prescribe the lowest effective dose (in grams per milliliter) that makes the pathogens go away. This not only reduces the amount of drugs in a patient's system, but also gives a guideline for a dosage that's high enough for efficacy, but still minimizes the risk that the pathogen develops resistance to antibiotics through undertreatment. More than 98% sensitivity and specificity
