Host response assay to distinguish bacterial and viral infections

13 May 2026

This brochure introduces MeMed BV®, a host response assay designed to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections using a simple blood test. The assay integrates three immune protein biomarkers into a computational score, enabling clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions and reduce inappropriate antibiotic use. Validated across more than 20,000 patients, the test demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy and supports timely clinical decision-making. Available on Beckman Coulter immunoassay platforms, MeMed BV delivers rapid results within routine laboratory workflows, helping address key challenges in infectious disease diagnosis and antibiotic stewardship.

Infectious DiseasesInfectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Effective detection, prevention, and treatment are crucial to control outbreaks and improve public health. Diagnostic tools, vaccines, and antimicrobial treatments are essential components of managing these diseases. Research into emerging pathogens and resistance patterns continues to evolve. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best diagnostic tools, prevention solutions, and treatment options; compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.AntibioticsAntibiotics are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. They are essential in the treatment of infections and in preventing disease spread. Explore antibiotics research and diagnostic tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
