Product Details

The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel enables rapid, near-sample detection of 10 clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. Using qualitative Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) on the InviDx® instrument, the assay supports antimicrobial resistance screening in human, animal and environmental One Health surveillance applications.

The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel detects the following AMR gene classes and targets:

  • dfrA (trimethoprim resistance)
  • fosA (fosfomycin resistance)
  • SHV / TEM (extended-spectrum β-lactamase and β-lactamase variants)
  • CTX-M (extended-spectrum β-lactamase variants)
  • Class A / Class D carbapenemases (serine carbapenemases)
  • qnrB (plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance)
  • vanA (vancomycin resistance)
  • mecA (methicillin resistance)
  • MBL (metallo-β-lactamases; e.g., NDM, VIM, IMP families)
  • mcr (colistin/plasmid-mediated polymyxin resistance)

By detecting these AMR gene classes, the InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel provides broad coverage of approximately 200 bacterial species and strains carrying these resistance genes.

The kit can be used in combination with the InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel to identify AMR genes in pathogens associated with urinary tract infections (UTI) in urine samples. DNA isolates of other human, animal or environmental sample types may be analysed in the context of One Health surveillance. Learn more about One Health surveillance.

The assay workflow is designed for near-sample and decentralized molecular testing environments. Positive and negative controls are included to monitor assay validity and help identify potential run failures.

For Research Use Only (RUO). Intended for use by trained personnel.

FAQs

  • 1. What is the InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel?

    The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel is a molecular assay for the qualitative detection of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in DNA isolated from various sample types. The assay is designed for use with the InviDx® instrument and supports rapid, decentralized AMR screening.

  • 2. Which antimicrobial resistance genes does the panel detect?

    The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel detects 10 clinically relevant AMR gene classes or target groups:

    ANTIBIOTIC CLASS AMR GROUP TARGET GENE(S)
    Trimethoprim / antifolates dfrA (trimethoprim resistance) dfrA12, dfrA14, dfrA17
    Fosfomycin fosA (fosfomycin resistance) fosA5, fosA6
    β-lactams TEM/SHV β-lactamases; some variants are extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) blaTEM, blaSHV
    Extended-spectrum β-lactams CTX-M ESBL groups blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-2, blaCTX-M-9
    Carbapenems and other β-lactams Class A and Class D serine carbapenemases blaKPC, blaGES, blaOXA-48
    Fluoroquinolones qnrB (plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance) qnrB1, qnrB3, qnrB5, qnrB6
    Glycopeptides vanA (vancomycin resistance) vanA
    β-lactams: anti-staphylococcal penicillins and cephalosporins mecA (methicillin resistance) mecA
    Carbapenems and other β-lactams MBL (Class B metallo-β-lactamases) blaVIM, blaNDM, blaIMP-22
    Polymyxins mcr (mobile/plasmid-mediated colistin resistance) mcr-1, mcr-9, mcr-10

    By detecting these AMR gene classes, the InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel provides broad coverage of approximately 200 bacterial species and strains carrying these resistance genes.

  • 4. How quickly are results available?

    The assay provides AMR gene detection in approximately 30 minutes on the InviDx® instrument. Following amplification, results are automatically interpreted using the InviDx® Hub.

  • 5. What is the InviDx® Hub?

    The InviDx® Hub is the software platform used for automated result interpretation.
    It applies AI-based, assay-specific analysis to data generated by the InviDx® instrument and supports standardized result reporting.

  • 7. Can the AMR Gene Panel be used together with the InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel?

    Yes. The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel can be used in combination with the InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel. The InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel includes a dedicated sample extraction workflow. The DNA extracted during this workflow can subsequently be tested with both the InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel and the InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel.
    Using both panels can support the detection of urinary tract infection-associated pathogens and selected antimicrobial resistance genes from the same extracted DNA sample. The two panels are separately available products.

  • 8. Does the AMR Gene Panel identify the pathogen causing an infection?

    The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel detects selected antimicrobial resistance gene targets. It is not designed to identify specific pathogens.
    For urinary tract infection testing, the AMR Gene Panel can be used together with the InviScreen® UTI Pathogen Panel, which detects UTI-associated pathogens.

  • 9. Which sample types can be tested with the InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel kit?

    The kit is designed for the analysis of any previously isolated DNA in liquid format. DNA from various human, animal or environmental sample types can be analysed, supporting a broad range of One Health surveillance applications.
    For each AMR detection run of 12 reactions (10x AMR gene targets, 1x positive control and 1x negative control) only 25 µl of DNA solution are required.

  • 10. Is the assay suitable for near-sample or decentralized testing?

    Yes. The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel is designed for near-sample and decentralized molecular testing environments using the InviDx® instrument.
    Its rapid workflow and reagent format support flexible use outside centralized laboratory settings, including human health, veterinary and environmental surveillance applications. .

  • 11. Can the assay be used for One Health surveillance?

    Yes. The InviScreen® AMR Gene Panel can support One Health surveillance across human, animal and environmental settings.
    The assay enables the detection of selected AMR gene targets together covering more than 200 different AMR bacteria strains in DNA isolations from various sample types.
    Learn more about One Health surveillance.

  • 13. Does the assay detect antimicrobial resistance itself?

    The assay detects selected genes associated with antimicrobial resistance. A detected AMR gene may be associated with resistance to a specific antimicrobial class. However, results should be interpreted together with the relevant organism, clinical or surveillance context and other laboratory findings.

  • 14. Does a negative result rule out antimicrobial resistance?

    No. A negative result means that the AMR gene targets included in the panel were not detected. A negative result does not exclude resistance caused by other genes, mutations, resistance mechanisms or targets that are not included in the panel.

  • 15. Does a positive result confirm phenotypic resistance?

    No. The assay detects the presence of selected AMR gene targets and does not directly measure phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility. Additional laboratory testing may be required to characterize antimicrobial susceptibility or confirm the clinical significance of a result.
