Antibiotic stewardship starts in the lab

Stewardship programs that skip fast, specific pathogen identification are fighting resistance with one hand tied.

Antibiotic resistance is driven by overuse and incorrect use — and it can only be solved through fast, precisely accurate pathogen identification. Yet many stewardship programs rely on a wait-and-see approach that delays the right treatment.

Highly specific PCR identification, confirmed where indicated by rapid culture for genotype and phenotype, gives clinicians what they need to treat correctly the first time. That's stewardship built on data, not guesswork.
