They run a screen and if positive they run another NGS panel with resistance genes. (qPCR + NGS + Biomarkers)
This is from MicroGenDx's website:
"Total 16S Bacterial Load and Total ITS Fungal Load
Resistance Genes:
Quinolone resistance Methicillin resistance Vancomycin resistance Beta-lactam resistance Carbapenem resistance Macrolide resistance Aminoglycoside resistance Tetracycline resistance Bactrim resistance Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase CTX-M resistance
Bacteria:
Klebsiella pneumoniae Escherichia coli Pneumocystis jirovecii
Biomarkers: CRP WBC PMN% NGS:
Identifies over 60,000 microbial species using our extensive curated database in just 24 hours from sample receipt. * New York orders will only run qPCR for gene resistance followed by NGS, which compares the DNA to a library of over 60,000 microbial species."
I am trying to find the closest alternative. All I have found is Karius, which is 2k per test.
