Clinical microbiology
• Shorten time till definitive treatment will:
– Decreased morbidity & mortality– Decreased costs – • decreased use of drugs, • the need for isolation, and • the use of additional laboratory and other
diagnostic studies.
– Shorter duration of stay in hospital

Traditional workflow
Sample collected
Microscopy (often uninformative for
clinical purposes)
Pathogen(s) cultures
Antibiotic sensitivity determined
(complex resistances may need further confirmation)
Empirical therapy
Definitive therapy
Minutes to hours
24-48 hours*
24-48 hours*
*longer for slow growers e.g. Mycobacterium spp.
•Total time: more then 2 days!•Amplification increases error•Can be difficult to take samples 100% sterile
•Speed up individual stages•Combine•Improve Emperical therapy•Shorten time till definitive treatment

Key facts (WHO)
• Infections caused by resistant microorganisms often fail to respond to conventional treatment, resulting in prolonged illness, greater risk of death and higher costs.
• A high percentage of hospital-acquired infections are caused by highly resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
• New resistance mechanisms have emerged, making the latest generation of antibiotics virtually ineffective.

Emergence and spread of AMR (WHO)
Important factors that accelerate the emergence and spread of AMR:
• weak or absent antimicrobial resistance surveillance and monitoring systems;
• inappropriate use of antimicrobial medicines.• insufficient diagnostic, prevention and therapeutic tools.• lack of a comprehensive and coordinated response;
