The Liofilchem® URIN SYSTEM Plus is a comprehensive diagnostic tool for counting, identifying, and performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of the primary pathogenic microorganisms found in urine specimens. This system provides reliable results within 18–24 hours, making it an essential tool for diagnosing and managing urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Key Features
- Comprehensive Testing:
- Microbial Identification:
- Enumerates and identifies key pathogens directly from urine specimens, including:
- Escherichia coli
- Proteus/Providencia spp.
- Pseudomonas spp.
- Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp.
- Enterococcus spp. (Group D), Staphylococcus spp.
- Candida spp.
- Enumerates and identifies key pathogens directly from urine specimens, including:
- Integrated Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing:
- Evaluates pathogen susceptibility to a broad spectrum of antibiotics:
- Aminoglycosides: Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin
- Beta-lactams: Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Ampicillin/Sulbactam
- Cephalosporins: Cefoperazone, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime
- Others: Fosfomycin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid, Co-trimoxazole
- Evaluates pathogen susceptibility to a broad spectrum of antibiotics:
- Microbial Identification:
- Fast and Efficient:
- Results for ID and AST are available within 18–24 hours, enabling prompt initiation of appropriate therapy.
- Ease of Use:
- Direct Inoculation: Simplifies the testing process by allowing direct specimen inoculation.
- Colorimetric Results: Well-defined color changes ensure clear interpretation of results.
- Automated Reading Compatibility: Supports automated systems for high-throughput analysis.
- Cost-Effective:
- Reduces labor and consumable costs by integrating multiple testing steps into a single panel.
- Versatile Application:
- Suitable for routine UTI diagnostics in clinical and hospital laboratories.
Applications
- Clinical Diagnostics:
- Rapid detection and treatment guidance for UTIs caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens.
- Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring:
- Provides susceptibility profiles to guide effective antibiotic selection and stewardship.
- Public Health and Epidemiology:
- Tracks trends in uropathogen resistance for better infection control strategies.
- Routine Laboratory Testing:
- Designed to streamline workflows in clinical microbiology labs.
Test Procedure
- Sample Collection:
- Collect urine specimens in sterile containers following standard procedures.
- Panel Inoculation:
- Directly inoculate the URIN SYSTEM Plus panel with the urine specimen.
- Incubation:
- Incubate the panel at 36 ± 1°C for 18–24 hours.
- Interpretation:
- Pathogen Identification: Observe color changes in specific wells to identify microorganisms.
- AST Results: Evaluate growth inhibition in antibiotic-containing wells to determine susceptibility.
