Rapid Detection of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Genes
The Cica Geneus ESBL Genotype Detection Kit from Kanto Chemical is a molecular diagnostic tool designed to identify common ESBL resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria through multiplex PCR. This rapid and reliable kit supports infection control efforts and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance programs by identifying genetic markers associated with antibiotic resistance.
Key Features
✅ Targeted detection of major ESBL genes (e.g., CTX-M, SHV, TEM, etc.)
✅ Multiplex PCR enables simultaneous gene detection in a single run
✅ Suitable for clinical diagnostics, epidemiological studies, and AMR monitoring
✅ Fast turnaround time – results in just a few hours
✅ High sensitivity and specificity validated by leading medical institutions
Application Areas
Hospital laboratories for AMR surveillance
Outbreak investigation and source tracking
Research laboratories studying resistance mechanisms
Public health and regulatory monitoring for ESBL gene spread
