Bloodstream Infection Results in Hours

Early results support further clinical validation of a direct-from-blood diagnostic workflow

Share

1

A single-cell analysis platform identifies bloodstream pathogens and measures antimicrobial susceptibility within hours.
2

The system produced complete results in 6.75 to 17 hours using whole blood spiked with clinical bacterial isolates.
3

Identification achieved 96% concordance with clinical laboratory results, with results available in 1.2 to 2.5 hours.
4

The single-cell assay demonstrated 98% essential agreement and 94% categorical agreement for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
5

Limitations include the need for further validation in patients and potential effects of prior antimicrobial exposure.
