A future without effective antibiotics
22 May 2023
Antibiotics have become the mainstay for fighting bacterial infections in modern medicine. However, the increased use of antimicrobials means an increased risk of resistance in viruses, fungi, and bacteria. To ensure that antimicrobials are used appropriately, antimicrobial stewardship programs are on the rise. In this video, Aaron Rohrer, manager of value-based healthcare at bioMérieux, discusses the escalating global threat of antimicrobial resistance and the importance of antimicrobial stewardship.
This talk was presented at the SelectScience® Virtual Clinical Lab Summit 2023.

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.
