Everything You Need for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Increasing antibiotic resistance among microbial populations is one of the major public health concerns. To fight antibiotic resistance spread, AST Systems must allow biologists to accurately diagnose specific resistance phenotypes, according to official CLSI & EUCAST guidelines. ADAGIO is perfectly designed to fit into the microbiology laboratory organization and to provide high-quality AST results. Patient data results are securely stored in the ADAGIO software allowing accurate epidemiology studies to be built based on customized statistical analysis.
