Bacterial Meningitis Panel
Overview
The Bacterial Meningitis Panel is a comprehensive molecular diagnostic test designed to rapidly detect and identify the most common bacterial pathogens responsible for meningitis. Utilizing multiplex real-time PCR technology, the panel can simultaneously detect multiple bacteria, including *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli . It provides results within a few hours, significantly faster than traditional culture methods, which can take days. The test is performed on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, offering high sensitivity and specificity. This rapid identification aids in timely and appropriate antibiotic therapy, improving patient outcomes and aiding in effective infection control and management in clinical settings.
