Pseudomonas aeruginosa BY PCR

The Pseudomonas Aeruginosa BY PCR is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the genetic material of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinical specimens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This assay provides highly sensitive and specific identification of the organism by amplifying target bacterial genes, enabling rapid detection even when bacterial counts are low. Rapid and accurate identification helps clinicians choose appropriate antimicrobial therapy and implement infection‑control measures promptly.

This test is suitable for suspected respiratory, wound, urinary or bloodstream infections where P. aeruginosa is a possible pathogen — including patients with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, chronic wounds, catheter‑associated infections, or immunocompromised status. Samples can be collected at home across Dubai and the UAE by trained technicians and processed in accredited laboratories; results are delivered as certified reports for clinical use. As with all molecular tests, PCR detects bacterial DNA and must be interpreted with clinical findings and microbiology culture results where necessary.

• Pseudomonas aeruginosa DNA (qualitative)
• Target gene detection (e.g., oprL, toxA)
• Cycle threshold (Ct) value
• Internal control / sample adequacy

• Suspected hospital‑ or ventilator‑associated respiratory infection
• Chronic lung disease exacerbation (e.g., cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis)
• Non‑healing or worsening wounds and burn wounds
• Catheter‑associated urinary tract infection or suspected urosepsis
• Fever or sepsis in immunocompromised patients

• Rapid, high‑sensitivity molecular detection of P. aeruginosa
• Reduces time to targeted antimicrobial therapy
• Convenient home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Certified laboratory report accepted by UAE healthcare providers
• Supports infection‑control decisions in clinical and home settings

• Home sample collection by a trained technician or phlebotomist
• Acceptable specimens: sputum / endotracheal aspirate / bronchoalveolar lavage, wound swab, or urine as clinically indicated
• Avoid contaminating the collection site; follow collector instructions for proper sampling
• Inform the laboratory or clinician about recent antibiotic use and relevant clinical history
