Fundació Puigvert validates a new tool capable of selecting the most suitable antibiotic for uncomplicated urinary tract infections within 45 minutes.
In a significant breakthrough for diagnostic medicine, a new clinical study has demonstrated the efficacy of the Sysmex PA-100 AST System, capable of detecting bacteriuria, i.e., the presence of bacteria in urine, and performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in just 45 minutes. This technology, evaluated for the first time at Fundació Puigvert, has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and thus optimise the use of antibiotics, and reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
