The BD MAX™ Enteric Solutions offer targeted syndromic panels that provide timely and accurate detection of the most common bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens responsible for infectious diarrhea.2,3,4
Acute infectious gastroenteritis (AGE) challenges the healthcare system. There is a high incidence of AGE in the U.S. and it is a common reason for outpatient visits and hospitalizations, with approximately 179 million cases per year5 and 128,000 hospitalizations per year.6
Conventional methods used to detect agents of AGE infections such as culture, microscopy, and immunoassays come with disadvantages:
This can lead to less effective clinical decision-making and result in:12
The system provides highly sensitive and specific results through real-time PCR technology, and consistent results through standardized workflow and protocols.

While progress has been made in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), they are still among the leading threats to patient safety. HAIs affect one out of every 31 hospital patients at any one time. Over 1,000,000 HAIs occur across the U.S. healthcare system every year, leading to the loss of tens of thousands of lives and adding billions of dollars to healthcare costs.19
By combining early and accurate detection of HAIs with appropriate infection control interventions and patient treatment, we can prevent transmission, improve patient management and reduce the financial burden on healthcare systems.20
BD has deep history in microbiology—from plated media to molecular diagnostics—demonstrating our unique strength in helping hospitals manage the spread of infections.
BD offers a comprehensive suite of molecular solutions designed to detect healthcare-associated infections on the BD MAX™ System. Molecular testing is highly sensitive and provides a faster result compared to culture methods, which can aid in more effective infection control measures.21,22
The BD MAX System™ delivers automated extraction, amplification and detection of the most common HAIs, with up to 24 patient results in approximately 3 hours.
The BD MAX™ Cdiff assay is a test for the detection of the Clostridioides difficile toxin B gene (tcdB) in liquid or soft stool from patients suspected of having Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). The assay provides a highly accurate result in an actionable timeframe and requires limited hands-on time as compared to traditional methods.23

The BD MAX™ MRSA XT Panel is a screening test for nasal carriage of MRSA aiding in transmission prevention and infection control. The assay provides comprehensive coverage including detection of 11 MREJ genotypes representing most of mecA and mecC harboring MRSA strains in addition to mecA and mecC gene drop-out mutants.
Catalog number: 443461
The BD MAX™ StaphSR Panel is a pre-surgical screening test for nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA aiding in transmission prevention and infection control. The assay offers the same level of comprehensive coverage as the BD MAXTM MRSA XT assay, including detection of 11 MREJ genotypes representing most of mecA and mecC harboring MRSA strains in addition to mecA and mecC gene drop-out mutants.24
Catalog number: 443419
The BD MAX™ CPO assay is intended as an aid to infection control in the detection of carbapenem-non-susceptible bacteria that colonize patients in healthcare settings. The assay is designed for the detection and differentiation of the carbapenemase genes blaKPC, blaNDM, blaVIM/blaIMP and blaOXA-48, that are associated with carbapenem non-susceptibility in gram-negative bacteria.25
Catalog number: 445262
Vaginitis/Vaginosis, STIs, and antepartum
Clinicians and laboratories are faced with increasing challenges in managing workload and patient needs when it comes to reproductive health. Staggering costs to the U.S. healthcare system caused by the growing number of new infections demand action in the way we test for sexually-transmitted infections (STIs).26 For vaginal infections, traditional diagnostics leave up to 40% of women with vaginitis undiagnosed after an initial clinical visit.27 Visit our women’s health solutions site to learn more about the BD Women’s Health portfolio of products.
The BD MAX™ Vaginal Panel is the first FDA market-authorized, microbiome-based, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that directly detects the 3 most common infectious causes of vaginitis: Bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis.28
With the BD MAX™ Vaginal Panel, you can maximize efficiency with 1 collection, 1 test for the 3 most common infectious causes of vaginitis. This assay separately reports Candida krusei and Candida glabrata, which may assist clinicians in choosing the appropriate antimicrobial therapy for their patients.29

SARS-CoV-2, Influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are 3 different viral respiratory infections that often present with overlapping signs and symptoms. Ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment for these conditions can be extremely difficult without access to testing.32,33
Testing can help better ensure accurate diagnosis and rule out possibilities of co-infection. It may also reduce community transmission, improve disease surveillance efforts, and better inform patient treatment and management decisions. This is especially critical for patients at higher-risk of severe infection such as the elderly, young children, and those with co-infections, or certain pre-existing medical conditions.30,31,34,35
With the BD Respiratory Viral Panel for BD MAX™ System, you can simultaneously detect and differentiate SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B and/or RSV from one sample. 36
