Overview

A clearer view of what this panel can show.

A broad PCR panel for suspected wound infections - it screens a wound swab for common bacterial targets and eight antibiotic-resistance genes, helping replace trial-and-error with clearer organism and resistance information.

Who this panel is for

  • People with a slow-healing or recurring wound when an infectious cause is suspected

  • Patients who need broad bacterial coverage from a single wound-swab specimen

  • Clinicians seeking bacterial target and antibiotic-resistance information to support a more informed care plan

Included tests

Every marker, listed in full.

No bundles to decode and nothing held back for checkout. This is the complete contents of the Wound Panel, drawn in one visit.
