Rapid AST for patients with suspected urosepsis: Optimized sample management to reduce time to guide antibiotic therapy
4 Dec 2025Rapid 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.

Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
