Cica Geneus® Acineto POT KIT

The spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has become a global problem.
The POT method can not only identify the species of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter
calcoaceticus baumannii (ACB) complexes but also simultaneously determine
the international epidemic clone I, II and the genetic identities of Acinetobacter baumannii
in several hours.
This POT method can easily and rapidly identify the international epidemic clones and
the identities of Acinetobacter spp. (A. baumannii、 A. pittii、 A. nosocomialis、 Acinetobacter
genomic species close to 13TU). It is a useful tool for infection control.

Characteristics

● This POT method developed by Dr. Suzuki of Fujita health University, it’s a molecular
epidemiological method which can identify and distinguish isolates with strain-level.
● This POT method can compare the homogeny between strains by digitizing
(replace to POT types) an electrocataphoresis result.
● Nearly the same discriminablity as the as Multilocus Sequence typing (MLST).
● Required for the examination time is approximately 4 hours.
