What is the Karius Test?

The Karius Test is a blood test, based on metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA). From a single blood sample, the Karius Test can rapidly and non-invasively detect over one thousand pathogens associated with deep-seated and bloodstream infections.

AMR Final Icon NEW ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE DETECTION

In addition to detecting over 1,000 pathogens from blood, the Karius Test now offers a culture-independent method of detection for common AMR markers for 4 classes of antimicrobials across 18 bacterial pathogens:

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (SCCmec, mecA, mecC)
  • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (vanA, vanB)
  • Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (KPC)
  • Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative bacteria (CTX-M)
