Fleming Initiative and Cepheid begin TRACE-CPE study on rapid CPE testing

The Fleming Initiative and Cepheid have begun the TRACE-CPE research study aimed at improving testing for antimicrobial resistance. TRACE-CPE will investigate whether rapid molecular screening for CPE can enhance infection prevention, optimise NHS resources, and contribute to future policy. The study aims to compare rapid molecular diagnostics with existing culture-based methods that typically require around 48 hours. Credit: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.com. The Fleming Initiative, a partnership between Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare National Health Service (NHS) Trust, and Cepheid, part of Danaher, have begun the TRACE-CPE, a two-and-a-half-year research study aimed at improving testing for antimicrobial resistance (AMR).…
