ACTINO Naso® (U.S. Patent Pending 18/607,817)
Overview
Human Host ACTINO’s® targets toxin-producing species and clinically relevant organisms associated with chronic sinus and respiratory concerns.
- Detects antibiotic-resistant staph colonization in the nasal cavity.
- Identifies biofilm formation that may protect bacteria from treatment.
- Detects key organisms commonly found in nasal and upper-respiratory environments, including Actinomycetes, Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, and Propionibacterium.
- Supports more targeted clinical decision-making for persistent sinus or respiratory symptoms (in collaboration with a healthcare professional).
Included Targets
| # | Genus | Species |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Corynebacterium | amycolatum |
| 2 | Corynebacterium | simulans |
| 3 | Corynebacterium | tuberculostearicum |
| 4 | Corynebacterium | xerosis |
| 5 | Propionibacterium | acnes |
MRSA & VRE (Resistance Screening)
Includes screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), two important markers of antimicrobial resistance.
Resistance Panels
- Carbapenemase & Beta-lactamase resistance
- Cephalosporin resistance
- Macrolide & Tetracycline resistance
- Quinolone resistance
- Sulfonamides & Trimethoprim resistance
- Vancomycin & Beta-lactam resistance
🛡️ Why MRSA and VRE Matter
Both organisms:
- Can be resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
- Are associated with serious or hard-to-treat infections, especially in healthcare environments.
- Often require strict infection control, hygiene protocols, and specialized treatment.
- Are part of the broader global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
