MiDOG Animal Diagnostics Expands to Australia

MiDOG Animal Diagnostics, a forefront leader in next-generation DNA sequencing for veterinary medicine, has recently enhanced its global footprint by partnering with Exotic Vet Support. This collaboration aims to introduce the MiDOG® All-in-One Microbial Test to veterinary practitioners in Australia. This significant partnership will elevate the standard of infection diagnostics for veterinarians treating various species, especially exotic and wildlife animals.

Cutting-Edge Diagnostics for Veterinarians

The MiDOG partnership allows Australian veterinarians to access advanced microbiome testing technology, which offers a more thorough and precise approach to identifying bacterial and fungal infections. Traditional culture-based methods often miss up to 99% of microorganisms, leading to delayed or incorrect treatments. MiDOG’s NGS technology, however, discovers all bacteria and fungi present in a sample down to the species level. This innovation leads to faster and more accurate diagnoses, ensuring better treatment outcomes for patients.

Dr. Dean Felkler, the founder and CEO of Exotic Vet Support, emphasizes the critical nature of MiDOG's technology, stating, "Receiving false-negative bacterial cultures can be frustrating for both clinicians and pet owners. It complicates the formation of targeted therapeutic plans, potentially delaying essential treatment. MiDOG's NGS technology negates this issue, providing a comprehensive understanding of the organisms involved, allowing for prompt and precise treatment." He also noted that the All-in-One Microbial Test gives a detailed report of all organisms in the sample, rendering additional costly aerobic or anaerobic cultures unnecessary.

Addressing Unique Veterinary Challenges in Australia

Australia's rich biodiversity presents unique obstacles in veterinary diagnostics, particularly for reptiles, marsupials, and aquatic species. The MiDOG® All-in-One Microbial Test is designed specifically for these challenges, featuring capabilities such as:

• - Enhanced Accuracy: The technology identifies all bacteria and fungi within a sample at the species level, ensuring no pathogen goes undetected.
• - Rapid Turnaround: Results are available within 2–3 days, enabling veterinarians to make timely, data-driven treatment decisions.
• - Antibiotic Resistance Insights: The test detects genes related to antibiotic resistance, which helps veterinarians select the most effective treatments and reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.
• - Broad Applicability: Suitable for a wide range of species, from pets to exotic wildlife.

Dr. Krista Keller, an exotic animal veterinarian in California, highlights the transformative impact of this advanced technology in diagnostics, remarking, "Traditional culture methods have limited our ability to diagnose infections in non-traditional species. Access to precise microbial profiling through MiDOG enhances our capacity to improve patient care."

Global Expansion and Access

MiDOG's entry into the Australian market is part of its broader mission to provide veterinary professionals worldwide with cutting-edge diagnostic tools. Besides partnering with Exotic Vet Support, MiDOG collaborates with distributors across various regions to enhance accessibility for veterinarians.
