The Cepheid Xpert vanA Assay performed in the GeneXpert® Dx System is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test designed for rapid detection of the vanA gene sequence associated with vancomycin resistance in bacteria obtained from rectal swab specimens from patients at risk for intestinal colonization with vancomycin-resistant bacteria
The test utilizes automated real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the vanA gene that is frequently associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE)
Easy-to-use test with less than 2 minutes hands-on-time
The Xpert vanA Assay kit contains sufficient reagents to process 10 specimens or quality control samples.
