Spesis is infection in the blood. Sepsis is caused by the infections of the blood stream. Pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites spread throughout the body from a local center of infection. This triggers an uncontrolled and over-reactive immune response
The major challenge that the doctors face when treating a patient with sepsis is that the traditional culture report takes long to come. In most of the cases it takes almost 2 to 7 days for the report to come. This not only delays the treatment but also increases the treatment cost for the patient. Blood to Bact technique that has been introduced by Maurya Labs not only helps in faster diagnosis but also in identifying the original pathogens in more than 87% cases as compared to 30% in traditional blood culture. Also the reprt is made available within 36 hours leading to exact diagnosis and faster recovery for the patient.

What is Blood to Bact Technique ?
Blood to Bact technique is the most advanced and the fastest method for culture from blood or body fluids. This technique employs high-throughput gene sequencing technology. It helps in simultaneously detecting the DNA & RNA of all microorganisms present in clinical sample. Blood to Bact enables the determination of potential pathogenic microorganism types through database comparison and bioinformatics analysis. The biggest advantage is that it gives Positive Culture Report in almost 87% cases of Community acquired or Hospital Acquired Sepsis, whereas in traditional blood culture it used to be only 30% .
Why does the Blood to Bact Measure ?
A Blood to Bact test detects the presence of microorganisms in the blood, which can be either bacteria, virus or fungus and even the combination of the two. It is important for the treating physician to know the type of infection so that he can decide whether to start antibiotic or antiviral or an antifungal medicine.
When is blood to bact test done ?
Blood to Bact Technique demonstrates superiority over traditional culture techniques in identifying the causative agent of sepsis. The test is mostly advised in ICU patients who are suspected to have sepsis and are in critical condition. The blood to bact test helps the treating doctor in starting the best course of treatment at the earliest as the report is made available in 24 to 36 hours from the time of sample collection. This test is particularly effective in detecting poly-microbial infections involving bacteria and viruses. It also enables the identification of viral, atypical, and M. tuberculosis pathogens that may be overlooked by conventional cultures. The Blood to Bact test at Maurya Labs also helps in reducing antibiotic overuse without compromising prognosis. Besides other advantages this technique also provides distinct benefits in the realm of microbial diagnosis and antibiotic selection for sepsis, bearing significant clinical importance.
