Bacteremia DMI Kit
Evidence for Targeted Therapy
Analysis of positive blood cultures for the identification of the most relevant bacteremia-causing bacteria
Bacteremia is one of the most frequent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Resultant sepsis and septic shock mandate early intervention because survival rates decrease dramatically by every hour of delayed antibiotic treatment. Initial therapy relies on broad-band antibiotics until the pathogenic microorganisms can be identified. But broad-band antibiotics are often ineffective and contribute to surging bacterial resistance.
Fast pathogen identification, together with information about patient history and resistance incidence, is key for rapid and appropriate adaption of antimicrobial therapy for best patient outcomes – as well as to restrict accelerating antibiotic resistance.

MetaSystems products are used in many countries worldwide. Depending on the regulations of the respective country or region, some products may not be used for clinical diagnostic use. In Europe MetaSystems products are CE labelled in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) devices. In the USA all MetaSystems products except the Ikaros karyotyping systems are intended to be used for research or inspection only.
- Bacteremia DMI Kit, (2.4MB)
The DMI Bacteremia Kit allows direct identification of the clinically most relevant bacteremia causing pathogens from positive blood culture.
- IFU: Bacteremia DMI Kit, (262.0kB)
Direct Multiplex Imaging (DMI) enables pathogen identification from mono- and polymicrobial positive blood culture (pBC) within 35 minutes. The assay with 12 genus and species-specific probes enables easy, precise and reproducible identification of over 90% of the bacteremia-relevant pathogens.
