PadoSero

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans diagnostics – for your personalized periodontal therapy

With the PadoSero, you can determine the serotypes of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, including the highly virulent JP2 clone and avoid overtreatment with antibiotics associated with this bacterium. Serotypes are variants within the species with different virulence. A distinction is made between serotypes a, b (JP2 clone if applicable), c, d, e, and f. Serotype a occurs with a high prevalence (25%) but has the lowest virulence and thus does not warrant antibiotic administration.

Now also available separately

To support a purely clinically indicated antibiotic administration, PadoSero can avoid the use of amoxicillin. You decide whether antibiotics are necessary on a purely clinical basis, PadoSero helps to avoid exposure to duplicate preparations (e.g. the Winkelhoff cocktail).
