Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing is mandatory for Bloodstream Infections management in order to establish appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Herein we evaluated new approach based on AST results directly from positive blood cultures, using Microscan WA to carry out rapid phenotypical profile of antibiotic resistance. Our investigations allow to reduce time versus traditional results.
为了制定适当的抗菌治疗方案,对抗菌药物敏感性测试是管理血流感染所必需的。在此,我们评估了一种新方法,该方法基于从阳性血培养物中直接获得的 AST 结果,使用 Microscan WA 快速进行抗生素耐药表型分析。我们的研究结果表明,与传统方法相比,这种方法可以缩短时间。
