Antimicrobial Resistance

Sample Type: Sputum, Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL)

For patients with suspected community-acquired or healthcare-associated pneumonia to identify causative pathogens and detect antibiotic resistance for targeted therapy.

Key Technical Features

Differentiates Infection Type for Smarter Treatment

Accurately distinguishes between viral and bacterial pneumonia to prevent unnecessary antibiotics, guide evidence-based care, and reduce antimicrobial resistance risks.

Easy Sputum Collection, Cost-Efficient Care

Uses a simple sputum sample (spit in a cup), minimizing patient discomfort and staff effort. Early, accurate diagnoses lower hospitalizations, shorten illness duration, and reduce healthcare costs — especially critical for elderly and immunocompromised patients.
