The combined early detection of causative pathogen and antibiotic resistance markers is essential when defining efficient antimicrobial therapy. The Prove-it™ assays provide rapid and simultaneous identification of Staphylococcus species and the mecA methicillin resistance gene. The mecA gene is located in staphylococcal cassette chromosome, SCCmec, being a marker for methicillin resistance in staphylococci.
Mobidiag performs active research and development in order to include more antibacterial resistance markers into the Prove-it™ products.
