A simple and sensitive test for colonization, surveillance, and infection control suitable for near patient use.

Unlabelled: is a multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen with a propensity to colonize humans and persist on environmental surfaces. invasive fungal disease is being increasingly identified in acute and long-term care settings. We have developed a prototype cartridge-based surveillance assay (CaurisSurV cartridge; "research use only") that includes integrated sample processing and nucleic acid amplification to detect from surveillance skin swabs in the GeneXpert instrument and is designed for point-of-care use.
