SpeeDx and UgenTec launch FastFinder for ResistancePlus MG Test
Artificially intelligent interpretation module automatically incorporates test results into lab information systems
(firmenpresse) - SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA and HASSELT, BELGIUM -- (Marketwired) -- 01/16/17 -- SpeeDx Pty. Ltd., a developer of innovative molecular diagnostic solutions, and UgenTec NV, a bioinformatics company that develops artificially intelligent PCR interpretation software, today announced the launch of a smart interpretation module for the test for M. genitalium, a rapidly growing sexually transmitted infection (STI) that has developed significant resistance to first-line antibiotic treatment.
SpeeDx''s diagnostic test detects both and mutations in the 23S rRNA gene of the bacteria that have been shown to confer resistance to azithromycin, a commonly prescribed macrolide-based antibiotic. UgenTec''s solution, called , ensures customers can automatically interpret the results and provides automation for incorporation to many laboratory information systems.
"Combining our high performance and reliable assays with UgenTec''s software is unique in today''s diagnostic landscape," says Colin Denver, CEO of SpeeDx.
