LIAISON® Urinary Ag tests

Less than one hour to precisely identify causative pneumonia pathogens

LIAISON® CLIA Urinary Ag assays quickly, accurately and automatically identify S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens from a single urinary sample.

Indications for use

Diagnosis

Patients with suspected pneumonia. Aids in the diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia and Legionella infection

Target patient

Adults

General medicine, microbiology, emergency department and urgent care settings

Background

A unique solution for the rapid detection of S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens from a single urinary sample

Determining pneumococcal etiology at an early stage of community-acquired pneumonia encourages clinicians to administer a pathogen-directed therapy. It can also help de-escalate prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotic treatments. 
The LIAISON® CLIA Urinary Ag solution quickly, accurately and automatically identifies S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens in urinary specimens of adult patients with suspected pneumonia. The automatic interpretation of test results allows healthcare professionals to rapidly distinguish between pneumococcal pneumonia and Legionella infection.

How it works

LIAISON® Urinary Ag tests represent an exclusive diagnostic solution  to detect 91 S. pneumoniae serogroups, L. pneumophila and Legionella spp.
