Rapid Strain Typing and Epidemiology
SpectraCell RA® enables the epidemiologist to determine when to initiate an investigation into:
- Community versus hospital versus nursing home acquired infections.
- Persistent agent versus new strain infections.
- Point out sources of hospital acquired infections, contaminated areas, and vectors of transmission.
Rapid Strain Typing Capability
Using one basic protocol, SpectraCell RA® is capable of
descriminating clonal relationships for:
-
S. aureus-MRSA and MSSA

-
Acinetobacter spp.
Other protocols under development are:
- CoNS
- E. faecium-VRE
- K. pneumonia
- E. coli
- C. difficile
- P. aeruginosa
- Enterobacter spp.
