NailKey MG006

NailKey delivers advanced diagnostics of onychomycosis and chronic nail infections. It detects both bacterial and fungal pathogens, Ideal for complex, treatment-resistant, or mixed infections where conventional diagnostics may miss the cause. The qPCR report quantifies bacterial load, identifies key pathogens, and screens for 17 antimicrobial resistance genes. The NGS report builds on this with high-resolution sequencing, identifying over 50,000 microbial species for broader pathogen insight and more informed treatment planning.

Methodology
NailKey uses both Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). These are complementary molecular biology techniques with distinct applications. qPCR is a sensitive and efficient method for quantifying the amount of specific DNA or RNA molecules in a sample. It amplifies target nucleic acid sequences using PCR and monitors amplification in real time using fluorescent probes or dyes. qPCR is widely used in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and genetic testing. NGS, on the other hand, is a high-throughput method that sequences millions of DNA fragments in parallel. It offers comprehensive and detailed information about the entire genome or specific genomic regions. NGS is utilized in genome sequencing, metagenomics, epigenetics, and cancer research. When combined, qPCR can validate and quantify NGS results, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of NGS data.
When should I consider this test?

Consider NailKey in cases of onychomycosis and chronic nail infections.

Ideal for patients with long-standing or recurrent nail symptoms where standard treatments or cultures have failed to provide clarity.

Useful when prior antifungal or antibiotic use may have suppressed microbial growth, making conventional testing unreliable.

Provides accurate pathogen identification, detecting both common and rare bacterial or fungal species, including those difficult to culture, ensuring more precise treatment planning.

High sensitivity makes it valuable in identifying multiple pathogens in the same sample, which may contribute to persistent or atypical presentations.
