New publication on the topic of hypervirulent Klebsiellae!



The increasing emergence of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) strains producing carbapenemases in Europe has led to a risk assessment by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) that carbapenem-resistant hvKp can cause difficult-to-treat or untreatable invasive infections in both immunocompromised patients and previously healthy people and that surveillance is needed to prevent further spread in healthcare settings *

Screening of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates for Carbapenemase and Hypervirulence-Associated Genes by Combining the eazyplex® Superbug CRE and hvKp Assays

When every minute counts - eazyplex® BloodScreen! Help with the therapy decision - in 20 minutes!

With eazyplex® BloodScreen Gram positive and Gram negative panel you can detect the most common bacterial pathogens of sepsis and associated antibiotic resistances, which strongly influence the outcome of the disease. You will receive the result directly from the positive blood culture without DNA extraction in 20 minutes.

The following kits can also be used for rapid diagnosis from positive blood cultures:

  • eazyplex® SuperBug CRE
  • eazyplex® VRE
  • eazyplex® VRE basic
  • eazyplex® MRSA

STDs travel overnight. Stop it now!


With the eazyplex® STD kits you can detect the most common sexually transmitted bacterial pathogens in just 25 minutes. The detection takes place directly from the swab, without further DNA extraction. The sample is processed in 3 minutes and can be used directly in the test. All buffers and reagents required are included in the kit.

 

Simply choose between eazyplex® STD complete, eazyplex® STD CT / NG and eazyplex® STD CT, according to your requirements.

eazyplex® summer package - four new tests for your new diagnostic update!

 

The latest update of our eazyplex® line:

a useful extension of your diagnostics in the area of resistance among the multi-resistant Gram-negative pathogens and a great addition to our SuperBug kits.

 

The first kit in the "Pneumo-Line" eazyplex® Pneumocystis jirovecci enables you to quickly detect the pathogen. In order to be able to treat a patient with PCP as quickly as possible, eazyplex® Pneumocystis jirovecii can be performed from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial secretions (BS) and tracheal secretions (TS) without DNA extraction. The complete result is displayed in real time and delivered as a result report after 25 minutes.

"Thank you very much!" to all Amplex distributors!

 

Many thanks to all Amplex distributors who were part of our first official Distributor Meeting 2019, which took place in Giessen. We were proud to welcome 32 people who represent a total of 47 countries. In addition to the many news and technical details that we discussed, we had a good time during and between the lectures and of course in the evening too.

 

We hope to see most of you again during this year's ECCMID in Amsterdam at our booth 1.12.
