Molecular Pathogen Testing
Molecular PCR pathogen testing generates results that are more accurate than standard culture and sensitivity testing within 24-48 hours of lab receipt.[1] GENETWORx offers clear and concise reports that provide a picture of the type and percent of pathogens causing an infection and, in many cases, identifies antimicrobial resistance regardless of concurrent antibiotic use.
Pharmacogenomic Testing
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing is a DNA Medication-Response test that detects genetic differences that affect the metabolism of therapeutic medications and possibilities for adverse events. PGX testing provides pertinent information to ensure patients are prescribed the most effective medication based on drug-metabolism pathways. Understanding how patients metabolize medications and gene/drug interactions may help clinicians improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce adverse effects, while providing insight into potential therapy modifications in certain circumstances.[2]
