Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that reportedly affects more than 30 million people worldwide each year. Early identification of the causative microorganism significantly improves patient outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality and has a positive impact on the healthcare economy. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) can reduce microorganism identification by up to 48 hours compared to traditional microbiology methods.
Bruker’s MBT Sepsityper®Kit US IVD utilizes the Bruker MALDI Biotyper®CA System for the identification of microorganisms directly from positive blood culture.
The integration of the MBT Sepsityper®workflow into the MALDI Biotyper®CA System software is easy and efficient.
The identification of a standard sample and a MBT Sepsityper®sample can be combined in one MALDI Biotyper®CA System run and will be clearly differentiated in the final report.
The entire FDA cleared reference library of 488 microorganisms is used for the final identification for both sample types.
“Rapid Sepsityper identification has been instrumental in terms of patient care. Especially in critically ill patients, the improved turn-around-time allows disease specific treatment which conserves health-care resources and, most importantly, improves patient outcomes.”
“我认为很多实验室都意识到他们需要使用MALDI-TOF MS技术进行微生物识别。当许多人认识到长期成本收益时,许多人现在正在进行这项投资。The MBT Sepsityper®Kit US IVD将成为许多临床微生物实验室的下一步。许多目前正在使用多重PCR测试,但是一旦您拥有MALDI Biotyper®仪器,它是更具成本效益的使用MBT Sepsityper®Kit US IVDthan large PCR panels.”
“TheMBT Sepsityper®Kitdata has allowed us to adjust antibiotic therapy according to our local antibiogram. This, at times, has allowed us to narrow or stop certain antibiotic treatments while in other cases, it has allowed us to escalate antibiotic coverage pending sensitivity data. It has become a crucial tool for our Antimicrobial Stewardship team.”
