Detection of Microorganisms and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Lower Respiratory Tract (LRT) Samples Using the Curetis Unyvero LRT55 Application
In Brief
An observational study evaluating LRT55 Testing for Pneumonia. Completed, enrolled 2,124 participants across 9 sites.
Detailed Summary
The Curetis Unyvero LRT55 Application is intended to detect and to identify genes of 21 microorganisms and 19 genes associated with antibiotic resistance in 4 hours. In this study, the performance of the Unyvero LRT55 Application shall be tested under clinical conditions and compared to (1) a composite reference method (for non-atypical or cultured microorganisms) or (2) a molecular PCR based reference method for the 3 atypical microorganisms Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumoniae, and Pneumocystis jirovecii, and for resistance genes. PCR amplifications are followed by bi-directional sequencing, including comparison of the test results Time to result will be compared for the Unyvero LRT55 Application and standard-of care.
