VeroDX PCR
Traditional Culture
Turnaround
Time
Results within 24 hours*
Results can take an average of 3-14 days
Accuracy
~ 99% Sensitivity and Specificity, for all present pathogens, including co-infections
Typically only detects the primary pathogen
Detection
Rapid detection of fastidious organisms such as fungi, anaerobes and resistance genes
Extended incubation time for fungi and anaerobes. Potential for “mixed flora” and no specificity of pathogens
Antibiotics
Less susceptible to antibiotic use
IS affected by antibiotic use
