TIME IS CRITICAL
FOR BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS
When an infection has spread to the bloodstream, reliable results are needed fast.
GENOMERATM TESTS FOR RELIABLE DIAGNOSIS OF INFECTIONS
The immune response to bacteremia can cause sepsis and septic shock, which
result in a high rate of mortality despite intensive care. The current microbe identification methods may take from 1-2 days after receiving a positive signal from the
blood culture. It has been reported that each hour of delay in the administration of an
effective antimicrobial therapy results in a mean decrease of 8% in patient survival1.

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
MRSA
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is associated with
significant morbidity. S. aureus is the second-most
common pathogen causing blood stream infections
(BSI) worldwide and is the leading cause of nosocomial
BSIs in Europe2. The documented mortality rates of
S. aureus BSI’s is 20-40% 3.
MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a
bacteria resistant to a number of widely used antibiotics.
Accordingly, in bloodstream infections it is estimated five
times more lethal than the susceptible
S. aureus strains. Although MRSA strains are not more
aggressive or infectious than other strains of S. aureus,
the infections caused by it are much more difficult to
treat because many antibiotics will not work.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is the leading cause of invasive bacterial disease in children and in
the elderly populations. It is the most common bacterial pathogen in infants aged 1-3 months. The strong
tendency of S. pneumoniae to autolysis often makes
subculture and conventional confirmation
methods impossible.
STREPTOCOCCUS AGALACTIAE
While the rates of serious Streptococcus group B infections are much higher among newborns than among
any other age group, infections will occur in all age
groups and can be fatal. On average, 8% of adults with
invasive Streptococcus agalactiae infections will die.
