3.2 Detected pathogens

Acute respiratory infections can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and
viruses, and generally present with nearly indistinguishable clinical signs and symptoms. The rapid
and accurate determination of the presence or absence of potential causative agent(s) helps
make timely decisions regarding treatment, hospital admission, infection control, and return of the
patient to work and family. It may also greatly support improved antimicrobial stewardship and
other important public health initiatives.
The DiagCORE Respiratory Panel 2 Cartridge is a single-use cartridge that includes all reagents
®
needed for nucleic acid extraction, nucleic acid amplification, detection, and identification of 22
viral and bacterial pathogens that cause respiratory symptoms. Testing requires a small sample
volume and minimal hands-on time, and the results are available in approximately one hour.
