ResistancePlus® GC
Smarter diagnostics. Simplified patient care.
Detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae and ciprofloxacin susceptibility markers: dual N. gonorrhoeae targets (opa & porA), gyrA S91F mutant, & gyrA S91 wildtype in a single-well multiplex qPCR test
Why use ResistancePlus® GC?
Antibiotic resistance in gonorrhoea infections is a global concern. There are limited effective treatment options and novel antibiotics are not readily available. Smarter and more directed use of antibiotics can be achieved through Resistance Guided Therapy.
Global surveillance data indicate 50-70% of gonorrhoea infections remain susceptible to ciprofloxacin.
Guidelines for gonorrhoea management call to preserve ceftriaxone and recommend use of ciprofloxacin when susceptibility information is available.
Azithromycin resistance is rising, compromising dual-therapy options.
Tested on hundreds of clinical samples, ResistancePlus® GC demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity.
