Every culture tells a story
Chronic and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) can present complex and persistent challenges.¹ At CirrusDx, every urine sample undergoes concurrent molecular identification and microbiology culture workups because each culture has the potential to reveal important details about what may be contributing to ongoing symptoms or recurrent infection.
By evaluating specimens through complementary laboratory methods at the same time, we’re able to provide a more complete microbiological picture to help support informed treatment decisions. Our work is driven by a commitment to uncovering answers that help clinicians better understand each patient’s unique UTI experience so the burden of finding solutions does not rest on patients alone.
From sample to results
Your urine is collected and sent to CirrusDx. We can even help you do this from home.
Your sample is thoroughly analyzed to determine which treatment(s) is most effective. You get pathogen identification and a microbiology culture workup.
Your test results guide your healthcare provider to prescribe treatment(s) to fight your specific UTI.
How do I get a test?
A healthcare provider needs to order the test for you, with the option of your test collection kit being delivered to your home. To learn more, contact us at info@cirrusdx.com.
What happens to my sample when it arrives?
Your specimen is processed using two complementary approaches. First, it is analyzed using molecular methods to detect and characterize potential pathogens. In parallel, the sample is cultured using modernized microbiology methods to grow and identify organisms that may be present.
By evaluating the same sample in multiple ways, we’re able to generate a more detailed microbiological profile. This combined approach provides your healthcare provider the information to support more informed decisions about your care and treatment options.
