Syndromic infectious disease testing from BioFire uses multiplex PCR technology to deliver comprehensive, pathogen-specific results in about an hour. Three panels on the BioFire System also target antimicrobial resistance genes associated with bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and joint infections.
By delivering actionable results in hours instead of days, the BioFire System can help healthcare providers reduce the time to targeted therapy and avoid unnecessary antibiotics, which in turn can help facilitate better antimicrobial stewardship.1,2
bioMérieux offers innovative diagnostic platforms to help identify infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance genes to help healthcare providers provide the best treatment with the shortest time delay.
Learn more about what antibiotic resistance is, why it matters, and how syndromic infectious disease testing from BioFire can help institutions achieve their antimicrobial stewardship goals.
What is Antibiotic Resistance?
Antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to global health. Learn what it is, why it matters, and the important role of syndromic infectious disease diagnostics in combatting it.
Over time, superbugs develop resistance to the treatments designed to kill them. See which antimicrobial-resistant pathogens are considered most dangerous by the CDC.
Sepsis and COVID-19 are top-of-mind threats for healthcare providers—and both disease states are linked to antimicrobial resistance.
