Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced molecular assay quantifies Klebsiella pneumoniae DNA in oral/rectal swabs, providing clinicians with precise bacterial load data and antimicrobial resistance gene profiles. It empowers pulmonologists, infectious disease specialists, and general physicians to tailor antibiotic therapy and monitor treatment efficacy in real time.
| Feature | Our Test (qPCR + WGS) | Standard Culture & Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Absolute quantification with resistance gene detection | Semi-quantitative, delayed resistance profiling |
| Method | Real-Time PCR & Whole Genome Sequencing | Bacterial culture & disk diffusion |
| Speed | Results by 3rd working day (phone 24 hrs) | 48–72 hours plus additional susceptibility |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a general practitioner, I emphasize that the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterial load test is a vital tool for tailoring antibiotic therapy, especially in immunocompromised patients. Always correlate results with clinical presentation and local antibiograms. This test does not replace sound clinical judgment." – Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA: 36234132)
Important Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Altering antibiotic regimens based solely on test results may lead to resistant strains or clinical deterioration.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients with active, uncontrollable bleeding from oral/rectal sites; inability to provide informed consent.
- Exclusion: Recent use of systemic antibiotics (within 72 hours) may reduce detectable load – inform physician.
- ER Red Flags: High-grade fever (>39°C) with rigors, severe respiratory distress, altered mental status, or signs of sepsis require immediate emergency care – do not proceed with sample collection; seek emergency department.
