Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test
Are you experiencing symptoms of pneumonia? DNA Labs UAE offers the Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test to help diagnose the presence of bacterial pathogens that cause pneumonia. This test is a molecular diagnostic tool that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect specific genetic material (DNA or RNA) of bacteria.
Test Details
The Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR test is performed on a respiratory sample, typically sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, collected from the patient. The sample is processed in our laboratory, where the DNA or RNA of bacteria is extracted. Specific primers and probes are then used to target and amplify the genetic material of common bacterial pathogens associated with pneumonia, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the Chlamydia genus.
Our test is highly accurate and provides rapid results within a few hours. It allows for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, ensuring you receive the care you need as soon as possible.
Test Components
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
- S. pneumoniae
- Chlamydia genus
Test Price
The cost of the Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test is AED 1630.0.
Sample Condition
To ensure accurate results, please submit a throat swab, nasopharyngeal swab, respiratory secretions, or BAL fluid in a sterile screw-capped container. It is important to ship the sample refrigerated and not frozen.
Report Delivery
Samples are accepted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays by 11 am. The report will be delivered within 4 days.
Method
The Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test utilizes PCR technology for accurate detection of bacterial pathogens.
Test Type
The test is specifically designed for respiratory disorders, with a focus on pneumonia cases.
Doctor
The Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test can be requested by a physician or a chest physician.
Test Department
This test is conducted in our Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test.
Comprehensive Evaluation
While the Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test is a highly accurate and rapid diagnostic tool, it is important to note that it only detects specific bacterial pathogens and cannot identify other causes of pneumonia, such as viral or fungal infections. Therefore, it is often used in combination with other diagnostic tests to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition.
If you suspect you have bacterial pneumonia, don’t wait. Contact DNA Labs UAE today to schedule your Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR Test and receive timely diagnosis and treatment.

The Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of bacterial pathogens that cause pneumonia. It is a molecular test that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and detect specific genetic material (DNA or RNA) of bacteria. The test is performed on a respiratory sample, usually sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, collected from the patient. The sample is processed in the laboratory, where the DNA or RNA of bacteria is extracted. Then, specific primers and probes are used to target and amplify the genetic material of common bacterial pathogens associated with pneumonia, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. If the genetic material of any of these bacteria is present in the patient’s sample, it will be detected and amplified during the PCR process. The presence of amplified genetic material is then detected using various methods, such as fluorescence or colorimetric signals. The results are interpreted by comparing the signal obtained from the patient’s sample to positive and negative controls. The Bacterial Pneumonia Panel PCR test is a rapid and sensitive method for detecting bacterial pathogens in pneumonia cases. It can provide results within a few hours, allowing for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. However, it is important to note that this test only detects specific bacterial pathogens and cannot identify other causes of pneumonia, such as viral or fungal infections. Therefore, it is often used in combination with other diagnostic tests to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition. |
