These samples were missed by traditional Culture and Sensitivity Testing (C&ST), and the time-to-results were orders-of-magnitude faster for the MiQLab.
Key Points:
- These samples were missed by traditional Culture and Sensitivity Testing (C&ST), and the time-to-results were orders-of-magnitude faster for the MiQLab.
- The occasional failure of culture to detect the presence of polymicrobial infections may contribute to the challenge of successfully treating these infections after the initial visit.
- Having the MiQLab in clinics can help veterinarians to accurately diagnose even these troublesome infections and offer the best possible diagnostics and care to the clients.
- Our results demonstrate the advantage the MiQLab system has over culture in detecting subpopulations of bacteria in polymicrobial samples with genotypic differences that can potentially affect treatment outcomes.
