Global Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technologies Market 2014-2018 Out Now
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 5:41AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4hmks6/global_isothermal) has announced the addition of the "Global Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technologies Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technologies market will grow at a CAGR of 17.49 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the technological advances being made in this domain. The Global Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technologies market has also been witnessing an increase in the miniaturization of nucleic acid-based diagnostics. However, the tough competition from PCR-based diagnostics could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space are Becton, Dickson and Co., bioMerieux S.A., Hologic Inc., Novartis International AG., and Quidel Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Alere Inc., Axxin Pvt Ltd., Eiken Chemical Co. Ltd., Great Basin Corp., Lucigen Corp., Meridian Bioscience Inc., New England Biolabs Inc., and Optigene Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Molecular Diagnostics industry is experiencing a rapid shift toward an increase in the process automation and integration of sample analysis in single miniaturized devices. Miniaturization offers scope for reduced sample volume, enabling the end-user to automate and analyze the sample. Among all the diagnostic methods, nucleic acid testing remains the method with the most potential for conducting analysis in miniaturized devices. Although PCR is one of the standard techniques for conducting amplification reaction, the method is quite complex due to the need for repeated thermo cycling and cooling, and it consumes more energy in the process. As an alternative to PCR, isothermal nucleic amplification circumvents the need for repeated denaturation and cooling as the amplification reaction occurs under isothermal conditions. This greatly aids in the design of microfluidic chips for conducting molecular diagnostics. Most of these microfluidic devices adopting isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods are in the R&D phase. It is expected that the increase in miniaturization of nucleic acid-based diagnostics will boost the growth of the market.

Hospital Acquired Disease Testing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
M2 - Tue Feb 18, 3:59AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tc2bz6/hospital_acquired) has announced the addition of the "Hospital Acquired Disease Testing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Nosocomial infections, most commonly called as hospital acquired diseases or healthcare associated infections (HAI),are acquired by patients during their stay in hospitals. Since the last decade, remarkable prevalence of nosocomial infections has been observed worldwide and its morbidity rate is rapidly growing. Patients with weak immune system, those exposed to improper hygiene conditions in hospitals, the high neonatal population in developing countries and elderly patients worldwide are highly susceptible to nosocomial infection. Aging of population is one of the major factors that has increased the incidence rate of hospital acquired diseases worldwide. Growing morbidity rate has resulted in a rise in nosocomial infection mortality globally. Contraction of nosocomial infection prolongs hospital stay of patients and ultimately the cost to the patients as well as the hospital increases. Though various diagnostic tests are available in the market for detection of infectious microorganisms, approximately 70% of such pathogens are becoming resistant to at least one of the anti-bacterial drugs most commonly used in nosocomial infection treatments, thus creating a challenge for healthcare professionals to treat such patients. Increasing resistance to commonly used antibiotics has created a demand for microorganism specific detection test for better assessment by healthcare professionals in order to provide appropriate treatment. Molecular diagnostics, PCR, microarrays and solid phase hybridization are some of the major techniques used for the diagnosis of nosocomial infections. The development of nucleic acid testing (NAT) diagnostic products and related platforms have enabled the entry of many players in the hospital acquired disease testing market. Nosocomial infections are mainly categorized into six types depending on the kind of infection, namely, hospital acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection, blood stream infection, surgical site infection, MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)infection and other miscellaneous variants which include gastro intestinal infection, cardiovascular infections, respiratory infections and infections related to joints. Occurrence of hospital acquired UTI is highest in all types of nosocomial infections,leading to the highest market share by revenue of hospital acquired UTI testing segment in the overall HAI testing market. Geographically, North America dominates the global hospital acquired disease testing market and is followed by Europe. Government initiatives to control and prevent nosocomial infection in these regions and their rigorous implementation to reduce the disease morbidity rate is driving the growth of nosocomial infection testing market. Asia-Pacific is a lucrative market for HAI testing owing to increased incidence of hospital acquired disease testing in countries like China and India and the growing need to reduce healthcare expenditure by both, the healthcare institutions and patients equally. Contribution of Asian countries to the hospital acquired disease testing market is expected to increase further as the medical tourism industry flourishes in this region.

Concise Analysis on the International Enteric Disease Testing Market - Forecasts to 2019
M2 - Wed Feb 05, 5:23AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v3x48h/enteric_disease) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis on the International Enteric Disease Testing Market - Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering. Various microbes responsible for enteric infections include salmonella, shigella, rotavirus, norovirus, c. difficile, cryptosporidium, vibrio and campylobacter. These diseases may range from asymptomatic to having mild to severe symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, stool containing blood or pus, fever and weight loss. Incubation period varies from few days to few weeks depending on the disease and severity. In order to reduce the chance of developing complications, these diseases needed to be diagnosed early. Earlier, diagnosis of enteric diseases relied on culture results of stool specimen that involved identification of causative pathogens in a culture medium. However, the trend is now shifting from culture methods to other diagnostic methods owing to limitations associated with culture tests. Major drawbacks associated with culture tests include high cost, labor intensive, requires sophisticated laboratory and a skilled person to perform the diagnosis. On the other hand, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has made enteric infection diagnosis easy and fast. In developed regions such as North America and Europe, PCR based diagnosis is most recommended testing method for enteric diseases as it offers high sensitivity and specificity and is considered as easy, accurate, rapid and reliable method of diagnosis. Latest introductions in MALDI-TOF have also been developed for rapid diagnosis of whole organisms without destruction of infection sample. Asia-Pacific accounting for more than 50% of the total global population represents the most profitable market for enteric disease testing in terms of growth and potential.
