FASTINOV announced its participation in the 26th Congress of the Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y MicrobiologÃa ClÃnica in Santiago de Compostela. The event brought together Spanish specialists working across infectious diseases, clinical microbiology and antimicrobial resistance.
Discussing rapid AST in bloodstream infections
The company used the congress to invite clinical microbiology leaders to discuss the integration of rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing into bloodstream-infection workflows. The central question was how earlier susceptibility information can help laboratories and clinical teams move from a positive blood culture toward targeted treatment decisions.
From innovation to routine workflow
FASTINOV’s participation positioned rapid AST as a workflow and implementation topic as well as a technology topic. Discussions with laboratories and clinical stakeholders helped connect the performance goals of ultra-rapid testing with the practical requirements of routine use.
The SEIMC congress provided a forum for FASTINOV to discuss how rapid AST can fit into Spanish bloodstream-infection pathways.
