Biofire Pneumonia panel will generally detect more organism than a quantitative culture
Infectology and Clinical Microbiology
Is a powerful tool that can aid in the diagnosis of lower respiratory tractinfections,It brings the speed and accuracy of molecular diagnostics to pathogen identificiaction in lower respiratory tract specimens.Real time PCR is used to measure pathogen-specific nucleic acid and does not require an organism to grow on culture media.

When it comes to pneumonia, it is often difficult to pin down the cause of infection using traditional methods. The BIOFIRE PN Panel is more sensitive and comprehensive than standard-of-care culture. One syndromic test, one patient sample, and about an hour are all it takes to deliver actionable answers.
- Identifies 33 clinically relevant viruses, bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance genes
- Semi-quantitative results on 15 bacteria can help determine if a detected organism is causing the infection
- Can be used to test sputum-like (including endotracheal aspirate) and bronchoalveolar lavage-like (including mini-BAL) samples
- Pathogen-specific results may lead to antibiotic de-escalation and help physicians put patients on optimal therapy sooner
Bridging pandemic-associated antimicrobial stewardship gaps with diagnostics
Join Brian Raux, Medical Science Liaison at bioMérieux, in this webinar as he discusses the gaps in antimicrobial stewardship programs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and how diagnostics can be leveraged to bridge those gaps.
During the webinar, Raux will cover how antimicrobial resistance has changed during the pandemic and how institutions can locally track and use their data. Raux will also explore the impact staffing shortages have had on the microbiology lab and how utilizing the syndromic approach can enable labs to do more with less.
Key learning objectives
- Realize the impact of rapid molecular diagnostics on antibiotic use
- Understand local antibiograms and growing resistance
- Explore the impact of syndromic testing and how it can address workforce shortages
Who should attend?
- Lab professionals: directors, supervisors, techs, etc. Clinicians, Pharmacists
Certificate of attendance
All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.
