Stop the Spread of CRE with Xpert® Carba-R
Carbapenemase-producing CRE are currently believed to be primarily responsible for the increasing spread of CRE in the United States and have been targeted by the CDC for aggressive prevention measures.1
Compliance and adherence to infection prevention measures is driven by early and accurate detection of resistance. Rapid PCR testing combined with contact precautions and isolation/cohorting has demonstrated a 60% reduction in HAI acquisition.2

Xpert® Carba-R is a qualitative, on-demand real-time PCR test for the detection and differentiation of KPC, NDM, VIM, OXA-48 and IMP in 48 minutes from perirectal swabs, rectal swabs, or suspect colonies. |
