Novaplex™ Entero-DR Assay
Simultaneous detection and identification of 8 antibiotic resistance genes

Hospital Acquired Infection

2.8
million

In the U.S., more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur each year.

35,000

More than 35,000 people die as a result, according to CDC’s 2019 Antibiotic Resistance (AR) Threats Report.1

Understanding Hospital Acquired Infection

Drug Resistance impacts human healthcare but also veterinary, and agriculture industries. Antibiotic resistant bacteria have become a global concern in clinical and public health aspects due to their ability to resist the effects of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant bacteria spread from person to person in the community (community-acquisition) or from patient to patient in hospital (hospital acquisition). Three major bacteria that acquired antibiotic resistance include carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL). 


Novaplex™ Entero-DR Assay* is a multiplex Real-time PCR assay that detects and identifies 8 antibiotic resistance genes simultaneously. Based on Seegene’s proprietary MuDT™ technology, this assay reports multiple Ct values of each target in a single channel without melting curve analysis.
