Fast and Accurate Genotyping for MRSA Infection Control

Cica Geneus™️ Staph POT Kit is a powerful tool designed for rapid molecular epidemiological surveillance of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Effective infection control relies heavily on passive epidemiological surveillance to prevent nosocomial outbreaks. The Staph POT Kit utilizes a PCR-based ORF Typing (POT) method to support both outbreak investigations and routine monitoring of MRSA strains.

What is POT (PCR-based ORF Typing)?

The POT method, developed by Dr. Suzuki at Fujita Health University, is a multiplex PCR technique that simultaneously amplifies multiple specific genes. This allows for highly detailed strain-level identification and genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus isolates. The POT method enables healthcare facilities to quickly and effectively monitor MRSA transmission patterns.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Strain-Level Genotyping
    POT technology distinguishes between strains at the genetic level, providing precise molecular epidemiological data critical for infection control.
  • Digitalized Results
    POT typing converts electrophoresis band patterns into easy-to-compare digital POT type codes, allowing straightforward homology comparisons between strains.
  • Comparable Discriminatory Power to PFGE
    Delivers similar strain differentiation as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), but with a simpler workflow and faster results.
  • Rapid Turnaround
    Complete genotyping analysis within approximately 4 hours, enabling timely epidemiological responses.
  • Ideal for Both Outbreak & Routine Surveillance
    Supports ongoing infection control programs and responds rapidly to potential outbreaks.

Applications

  • Hospital infection control and MRSA outbreak investigations
  • Routine epidemiological surveillance of Staphylococcus aureus
  • Research and academic studies on bacterial strain differentiation
