Rapid AST for patients with suspected urosepsis: Optimized sample management to reduce time to guide antibiotic therapy

Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods are increasingly being adopted to reduce time to guided antibiotic treatment in critically ill patients. This poster presents a study comparing turnaround time of rapid AST for urine culture isolates and positive blood cultures using the QuickMIC rapid AST system and laboratory standard methods. Learn how rapid AST results for patients with suspected sepsis can potentially be achieved faster from urine culture isolates compared to positive blood cultures.
