Urinary Tract Infection Testing

Virant Diagnostics Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) panel allows fast identification of causative pathogens with antibiotic-resistance gene profiling. Our test reports aid in faster targeted pharmacologic therapy that leads to better patient outcomes.

At Virant Diagnostics, we use gold standard PCR technology to genetically identify pathogens responsible for UTIs as well as antibiotic-resistance gene detection. Our UTI panel provides significantly faster, more sensitive and accurate results when compared to traditional culture and sensitivity.
