Joint Infection Solutions

Conventional testing for joint infections is complex and time-consuming. Fortunately, our syndromic approach provides fast, accurate answers on a comprehensive menu of possible pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes—supporting timely, targeted treatment decisions.

The Syndromic Approach to Joint Infections

Joint infections, which can involve either native or prosthetic joints, are medical emergencies that can lead to functional joint impairment, long-lasting disability, and may even be life-threatening. Unlike time-consuming traditional testing, our syndromic approach detects 39 joint infection targets in one quick test. Fast, comprehensive results may enable clinicians to make timely, optimal therapy decisions and support the goals of antimicrobial stewardship.
