Wound Panel Real Time PCR Detection

The Wound Panel Assay is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of DNA from the wound swab. To collect the specimen, swab the wound by gently rotating a sterile calcium alginate or rayon swab between fingers. Swab the wound from margin to margin in a 10-point zigzag fashion. Use enough pressure to express fluid from within the wound tissue.

The assay includes the following pathogens and ABRs:

Enterococcus faecium
Staphylococcus aureus
pseudomonas aeruginosa
Enterococcus faecalis
E coli
citrobacter freundii
Streptococcus agalactiae
Staphylococcus epidermidis (sodA)
Morganella morganii
Acinetobacter baumannii
Candida albicans
Candida Auris
Aerogenes
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Streptococcus pyogenes
RNase P
Proteus mirabilis
Bacteroides
Enterobacter cloacae
Klebsiella oxytoca
Oxa48
MecA/MecC
VanA/Van B
KPC
VIM
BlaSHV
tetM
NDM
Candida Krusei
Candida parapsilosis
Candia tropicalis
Candia glabrata
