Three courses of antibiotics.
Yet still symptomatic.

Affecting ~3 million Americans each year, drug-resistant infections may not be fully identified through standard testing alone.

MicroGenDX testing detects pathogens and screens for 17 antimicrobial resistance markers, producing a more complete profile of the infection. Each report includes antimicrobial guidance to support your doctor’s treatment decisions.

Target the right bug with the right drug—for more effective relief.

Thank you, KF, for sharing your story. We’re glad our testing supported your recovery.

⚠️ DAIR failure in acute PJI: what the data says about who fails - and why.
New AAOS 2026 data from 1,000+ PJI cases identified the strongest predictors of DAIR failure:
• >10 days from diagnosis to treatment
• Enterococcus or coagulase-negative Staph present
• Polymicrobial infection
• CRP >100 mg/L

Most actionable: 55.7% failure with empiric therapy vs. 39.5% with pathogen-tailored therapy (P=0.002). IV vs. oral and duration made no significant difference.

"My UTI test came back negative, but I still feel awful."
If you've been there, the problem isn't you. It's the test.

A peer-reviewed study of 44 UTI patients compared traditional urine culture with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in 44 patients with UTI symptoms. Traditional testing missed 70% of real infections, detecting bacteria in only 30% of patients. NGS detected infections in 100% of patients.

Moreover, patients treated based on NGS had significantly better symptom scores than those treated based on culture alone. Culture-negative patients got better when treatment was guided by NGS results.

The hidden issue?

NGS found anaerobic bacteria in 45% of patients, bacteria that the culture tests had missed. In half of those cases, the hidden bacteria were causing the symptoms.

For a test that guides better treatment via:

1️⃣ reporting results with 99.2% accuracy
2️⃣ detecting 60K+ pathogens
3️⃣ uncovering hidden and anaerobic bacteria
4️⃣ listing drug resistance

🕐 Is 5 days enough to call a PJI culture negative?
New AAOS 2026 data suggests it may not be.

In a 10-year study of 4,000+ surgical PJI cases:
• 40%+ of positive cultures came in after the standard 5-day window (mean: 10 days)
• Common late organisms: C. acnes, coagulase-negative Staph, anaerobes
• Culture-negative failure rate: 60% vs. culture-positive: 31%

Whether the positive came early or late, outcomes were the same- the identification is what counts.

Your kidneys filter bodily waste and keep your body in balance. But untreated UTIs can quietly put their health at serious risk.

Here are 4 ways UTIs impact your kidneys:

1️⃣ Infection Spreads to the Kidneys:
UTIs start in the bladder. Without early treatment, bacteria can travel to the kidneys, causing pyelonephritis, commonly marked by fever, nausea, and flank pain.

2️⃣ Long-Term Kidney Damage:
Recurrent or untreated kidney infections can cause scarring and reduced function over time, raising the risk of permanent damage.

3️⃣ Increased Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):
Frequent UTIs may contribute to CKD, particularly in people with diabetes or weakened immunity. Left unmanaged, CKD can lead to heart disease and kidney failure.

4️⃣ Sepsis: Severe kidney infections can allow bacteria into the bloodstream, triggering sepsis, a life-threatening immune response that damages tissues and organs throughout the body.

✅ The good news? Most UTIs are easy to treat when caught early.

MicroGenDX's NGS testing identifies UTI-causing microbes at the DNA level with 99.2% accuracy, in as little as 24 hours after sample receipt, helping guide effective care.

🔬 New Research | NGS vs. Culture for PJI - 569 Same-Specimen Aspirates

A multi-institution study tested NGS, culture, and synovial biomarkers on the same specimen across 569 hip and knee aspirations - using the 2018 ICM criteria as reference.

What it found:
- NGS sensitivity: 51% vs. culture: 29% (1.7x more sensitive)
- Specificity comparable: NGS 94% vs. culture 97%
- NGS correlated more strongly with infection status than every biomarker evaluated, including alpha defensin

One specimen. More answers.

“Mixed flora” isn’t a diagnosis.
It’s a roadblock. If you’ve experienced that frustration, you’re not alone.

When cultures repeatedly come back inconclusive, it's time to test differently.
Advanced microbial testing identifies pathogens by their DNA, giving your doctor clearer insight into the microbes involved— helping guide targeted treatment.

This patient's wife called our testing a lifesaver.

If you've been told to "repeat the test" more than once, consider DNA-powered precision diagnostics.

📊 NGS in Culture-Negative PJI | New AAOS 2026 Outcomes Data
A UTHealth Houston study of 131 culture-negative PJI cases found:
• NGS identified pathogens in 80% of cases
• Treatment was adjusted in 62% of patients based on NGS findings
• 1-year reoperation rate with NGS guidance: ~27% - nearly equal to culture-positive outcomes
• NGS matched culture on the dominant organism in 93% of validation cases - and found additional organisms in 9 cases culture missed

Culture-negative doesn't have to mean treatment-negative.

🦠 Taking biofilm disruptors for a chronic UTI or infection?

Certain biofilm disruptors (especially those containing DNase) can destroy the bacterial DNA our NGS technology needs to detect your infection accurately.

Learn more about the risks of using biofilm disruptors before your MicroGenDX test and what a helpful regimen looks like.

The right answers, at the right time, can make all the difference.

At MicroGenDX, our PCR + NGS testing helps support safer healthcare by giving patients and their providers accurate, DNA‑level insight.

Fast, sensitive pathogen detection via PCR + NGS helps:

• Enable earlier care
• Avoid unnecessary interventions
• Encourage targeted treatment choices vs. broad-spectrum antibiotic use
• Prevent escalation to more intensive care

MicroGenDX gives you and your provider actionable information, supporting timely, informed, and safer health decisions. Contrast that with standard culture testing which can take longer and miss key pathogens, producing inaccurate results.

Because safety starts with clarity into the cause.

🔬 | New research confirms: knowing your pathogen (not guessing) is the key to PJI (prosthetic joint infection) treatment success.
Three studies from UTHealth Houston, presented at AAOS this week:
• Tailored therapy cut DAIR failure from 55.7% → 39.5% (P=0.002)
• Culture-negative PJIs failed at nearly double the rate of culture-positive cases (60% vs. 31%)
• NGS identified organisms in 80% of culture-negative cases and changed treatment in 62% of patients

Precision starts with identification.
