Ordering

These Assays offer:

  • Build with flexibility: Pick and choose only the pathogen targets you want.
  • Save time with predesigned assays: Market-proven predesigned sequences that ship quickly.
  • Reduce cost and increase capacity with multiplexing: Multiple dye options to enhance capacity while reducing both costs and turnaround times.

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections globally, affecting millions of individuals each year [1]. They are particularly common among women, with nearly 50-60% experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime, making these targets an active area for research [2].

Common markers, pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes associated with UTIs include:

  • Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterococcus faecalis
  • Tetracycline M, Cefotaxime M, Erm resistance

Product details

PrimeTime Research Pathogen Assays are market-proven, pre-designed target sequences that consist of a forward primer(s), a reverse primer(s), and a qPCR probe(s) delivered in a single tube.

Dyes available for convenient multiplexing: FAM, SUN™, Cy®5 and Texas Red™

Each oligonucleotide undergoes QC by mass spectrometry†.

† With the exception of mixed base oligos, which could potentially represent multiple sequences and therefore cannot be accurately evaluated by ESI mass spectrometry.
