TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bloodstream infections can be detrimental to all patient populations, however, in certain patient populations, such as cancer patients, there is an increased risk for poor outcomes. Identification of the pathogen causing the infection coupled with genotypic resistance markers through a rapid multiplex nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT) system can help guide clinicians with proper therapeutic interventions.

Key Points:

In this free webinar, gain insights into why and how to integrate rapid molecular diagnostic testing for bloodstream infections in a microbiology laboratory.
Attendees will learn how well a rapid molecular diagnostic test for bloodstream infections can correlate to culture while seeing how many pathogens can be detected with a comprehensive panel offering.
The featured speaker will dive into some important cases that can highlight the importance of implementing a rapid diagnostic solution, especially in high-risk populations.
In this webinar, Dr. Melvilí Cintrón will discuss considerations for implementing a rapid multiplex NAT system for identifying pathogens and genotypic resistance profiles in bloodstream infections (ePlex® Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panels).

The Clinical Impact of Early Detection of Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) Bacteremia in Hospitalized Patients, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

금요일, 11월 18, 2022

TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the recent improvements of molecular blood culture identification (BCID) panels, time to pathogen and resistance profile identification generated from a positive blood culture has been drastically reduced. Compared to conventional culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing, this rapid turnaround allows the microbiology lab to deliver results to the clinical teams more efficiently to allow for prompt administration of the correct regimen of antibiotics and antifungals. More specifically when looking at gram-negative (GN) pathogens, organisms harboring extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), can be reported within three hours after a blood culture turns positive and the molecular test, inclusive of genotypic resistance genes, such as CTX-M, can be reported out at Northwell Health Laboratories. Until now, the clinical impact remained unclear.

Key Points:

Attendees will take a closer look at the improvements that can be made by implementing rapid molecular diagnostics for bloodstream infections.
The featured speaker will dive further into how results from rapid diagnostics for bloodstream infections can impact overall therapeutic interventions in a healthcare system.
Register to learn about the clinical impact of early detection of ESBL bacteremia in hospitalized patients.

TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Although automated blood systems can save time, subcultures are required for growth of the organism, specific biochemical testing, assays for the identification of potential pathogens and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Pediatric blood cultures present unique problems such as fastidious organisms, antimicrobial treatment and small specimen volumes. Furthermore, contamination of blood cultures by skin microbiota such as coagulase-negative Staphylococci may be problematic in specific populations such as immunocompromised patients where determining true pathogens can be more difficult.

Key Points:

In this free webinar, learn about a rapid blood culture identification system and blood culture identification (BCID) panels.
Attendees will understand the impact of using this system on the laboratory, patient care systems and Antimicrobial Stewardship.
The featured speaker will give an introduction into BCID Panels for the testing of normally sterile body site (NSBS) samples from an automated blood culture system.
