- Description
- NAMRU-6 is seeking to purchase one FilmArray 2.0 for the identification of bacterial pathogens to analyze bacterial isolates that cause infections, including nosocomial (focusing on ESKAPE pathogens), diarrheal, and wound infections or from urethral discharge syndrome (focusing on Neisseria gonorrhoeae) for further identification and characterization of their antibiotic resistance patterns. FilmArray 2.0 can test up to 176 samples a day for the study "Surveillance and Characterization of the Molecular Resistance Factors of Bacterial Pathogens in SSOUTHCOM AOR" The FilmArray 2.0 instrument has four FDA-cleared panels - the Respiratory Panel, the Blood Culture Identification Panel, the Gastrointestinal Panel, and the Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel. Together, these panels test for more than a hundred pathogens. The FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel tests for a comprehensive set of 22 gastrointestinal pathogens, it tests stool specimens for common pathogens associated with gastroenteritis. The following bacteria organisms and subtypes are identified using the FilmArray 2.0 instrument: Bacteria Campylobacter (jejuni, coli, and upsaliensis) Clostridium difficile (toxin A/B Plesiomonas shigelloides Salmonella Yersinia enterocolitica Vibrio (parahaemolyticus, vulnificus and cholera) Vibrio cholerae Enteroaggregative E. coli Enteropathogenic E. coli Enterotoxigenic E. coli Shiga-like toxin-producing E. coli stxl/stx2 E. coli O157 Shigella/Enteroinvasive E. coli Cryptosporidium Cyclospora cayetanensis Entamoeba histolytica Giardia lambia The FilmArray GI panel integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection and analysis into one simple system that requires 2 minutes of hands-on time and has a total run time of about 1 hour.
