AccuGen™ TB Solutions
With AccuGen's diagnostics may offer a lifeline for innovative AMS strategies
  • Tuberculosis is a global disease, and drug-resistant tuberculosis is a public health crisis worldwide.
    Only one third of MDR/RR-TB patients are registered for treatment.
  • In the absence of species identification results, NTM disease can be misdiagnosed as tuberculosis or bronchiectasis for a long time. Since the drug resistance patterns of NTM vary depending on the species, it is very important to conduct mycobacterial species identification and drug sensitivity testing before treatment.
  • Accurate detection of pathogenic microorganisms is the most effective way to avoid indiscriminate use of drugs, especially indiscriminate use of antibiotics.
  • AccuGen™ TB Solutions adopts multiplex PCR technology and first captures the specific genes of mycobacteria through targeted capture before high-throughput sequencing. It is mainly suitable for patients with clinical suspicion of mycobacterial infection. It can not only help diagnose tuberculosis/NTM, but also detect drug resistance gene mutations, so as to accurately guide clinicians in medication use.
