LIAISON® S.pneumoniae Ag

Get ready to win against Pneumococcal Pneumonia

The LIAISON® S.pneumoniae Ag assay is an automated (CLIA) immunoassay for the detection of the Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen as an aid in the diagnosis of pneumonia.

Indications for use

Diagnosis

Patients with suspected pneumonia. Aids in the diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia

Target patient

Adults

Use area

General medicine, microbiology, emergency department and urgent care settings 

S.pneumoniae background

Background

The importance of a timely pneumococcal disease diagnosis

Determining pneumococcal etiology at an early stage of CAP encourages clinicians to administer a pathogen-directed therapy. It can also help de-escalate prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotic treatments. The LIAISON® S.pneumoniae Ag test empowers healthcare professionals to quickly and accurately identify Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen in urine specimens of adult patients with suspected pneumonia. Test results can be used as an aid in diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia infection.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is the most common type of bacterial pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is a normal colonizer of the upper respiratory tract. Streptococcus pneumoniae causes different types of acute, invasive, and non-invasive clinical infections, and is the most frequently detected pathogen responsible for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Pneumococcal pneumonia is accompanied by bacteraemia in 10-30% of cases. 

How it works

LIAISON® S.pneumoniae Ag is an exclusive diagnostic solution built to detect the anti-cell wall polysaccharide (CWPS) antigen assuring identification of a broad-spectrum of 91 serotypes.
