IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EmeritusDX, a rapidly growing cancer diagnostics and information company, today announced the launch of UTIDX™, a PCR based test used for the diagnosis and treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). The test includes the top 31 uropathogens associated with UTIs, 24 known Antibiotics Resistance Genes, and the phenotypic evaluation of Antibiotic Sensitivity to the 18 most appropriate antibiotics.
"We are proud to launch UTIDX™ and feel strongly about the value this test will bring to our clients. When you can provide more accurate results, with better treatment options, and quicker turnaround, it is a win-win-win for patients and the healthcare community" says CEO, Robert Embree.
