Cica Geneus® ECC POT KIT

The PCR-based ORF typing（POT） is a molecular epidemiological method to amplify plural specific genes by multiplex PCR at the same time, for not only investigations of outbreaks but also for non-outbreak epidemiological surveillance.
Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) is a generic name for closely related species of E.cloacae, some of which are problematic as Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteria (CPE). This kit is intended for ECC and can be used to estimate the species of E. hormaechei and E. asburiae, identify E. hormaechei strains and estimate their ST types, and perform simple ST type estimation of some E. asburiae.

Characteristics

• This POT method developed by Dr. Suzuki of Fujita Health University is 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.
• Required for the examination time is approximately 4 hours.
