Methodology
PCR
The test is performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a molecular technique renowned for its ability to amplify and detect minute quantities of genetic material. Key features of this methodology include:
* High Specificity: The test uses specific primers and probes to target a unique DNA sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae, ensuring accurate identification without cross-reactivity with other bacteria.
* High Sensitivity: PCR can detect very low bacterial loads, making it an excellent tool for diagnosing severe systemic infections like bacteremia in their early stages.
Sample Required
WB EDTA
The sample required for this test is:
* WB EDTA: Whole blood collected in a tube containing EDTA as an anticoagulant. A blood sample is the appropriate choice when a systemic infection, such as bacteremia or sepsis, is suspected, as it can confirm the presence of the bacteria in the bloodstream.
Preparation
* No Fasting Required: The test does not require any specific dietary restrictions. * Patient Preparation: There is no special patient preparation required. A standard venipuncture (blood draw) will b... Read more
