Rapid AST in sepsis management: Global perspectives on innovation and implementation

April 22, 2025, 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT / 07:00 PDT

Sepsis and bloodstream infections (BSIs) remain among the most urgent medical emergencies, requiring rapid intervention. The rising threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) further complicates treatment, particularly in regions with high resistance rates. Innovative diagnostic tools are critical to improving patient outcomes and combating the spread of resistance.

Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) systems, like the ultra-rapid QuickMIC^® system, are revolutionizing infection management by providing clinically actionable MIC values within hours instead of days. These solutions empower clinicians to swiftly tailor antibiotic therapy, curb resistance selection, and enhance the clinical care of critically ill patients.

In this webinar, expert speakers from different AMR landscapes will share their insights and real-world experiences with rapid AST in sepsis management. Join us for a discussion on how rapid AST solutions are transforming laboratory workflows, supporting antimicrobial stewardship, and shaping the future of infection diagnostics.

Key learning objectives:

Learn about emerging technologies within rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and their value to clinical microbiology labs
Gain an understanding of how rapid AST methods are used to combat sepsis and antimicrobial resistance in different settings
Explore real-world applications of rapid AST and examine its impact on laboratory workflows and patient care
