Bloodstream Infections

Rapid identification of sepsis-causing pathogens and AMR genes for timely intervention

About Bloodstream Infections

Bloodstream infections (BSIs), including sepsis, are among the most serious and life-threatening infectious diseases. Rapid and accurate identification of the causative pathogens is critical for effective patient management and improved outcomes.

OmniCapture provides comprehensive detection of bloodborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, enabling timely diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Key Pathogens Detected

Our comprehensive panel covers a wide range of bloodstream pathogens, including:

Hepatitis C Virus

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is transmitted through contact with infected blood and can lead to chronic infection in many cases.

Lyssavirus

Lyssaviruses, including the rabies virus, cause rabies, a fatal neurological disease transmitted through the bite of infected animals. Early detection is critical for post-exposure prophylaxis.

Clostridium botulinum

Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum toxin, one of the most potent neurotoxins known. It can cause botulism, a rare but serious illness affecting the nervous system.

Neisseria meningitidis

Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis. It can cause severe illness with rapid progression, requiring immediate medical attention.

Hepatitis A & E

Hepatitis A and E are enteric viruses that cause acute liver inflammation. They are typically transmitted through contaminated food or water, and can lead to liver failure in severe cases.

Hepatitis D Virus

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a defective virus that requires the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to replicate. Co-infection with HBV can lead to more severe liver disease than HBV alone.
