Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can affect anyone. Approximately 50 million people are affected every year. 11 million die. Many survivors pay a high price. Shahrzad is one of them.
Sepsis and bloodstream infections are time-critical conditions where every hour of delayed appropriate treatment severely affects patient survival. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is crucial to determine the best treatment for these patients.
Traditional AST can take upwards of 48 hours. Rapid AST systems are essential for accelerating the diagnostic workflow and treatment decisions.
ASTar is part of the solution.
