INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Utilizing industry-leading molecular technology, we provide accurate and specific results within 24-hours. Molecular diagnostics provides advanced technology improving the way infections are diagnosed and treated by identifying microbes by their DNA. This allows faster, more accurate results allowing physicians to act sooner and with more precision than ever before. PCL can also detect antibiotic-resistance genes so that targeted therapy can be implemented with custom treatment recommendations to improve antimicrobial stewardship and patient outcomes. Traditional culture is still available as an added convenience for our clients.
