Efforts to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR) varies considerably between countries. Romania is one of the countries in Europe with high AMR levels. Through support from EEA Grants, Romanian experts have drawn up a national action plan (1) guiding strategies and actions for AMR governance.

“The rise of antibiotic-resistant organisms calls for implementation of rapid identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods to optimize use of antibiotics. Mecro System’s expertise and product offering within rapid bacterial ID is an excellent fit with ASTar System, allowing same-day reporting of results to clinicians”, said Stuart Gander, CEO of Q-linea. 

Daniel Moș, Sales Manager at Mecro System, commented, “ Our company has a clear focus on adding innovative products to our portfolio. We are proud to be the distributor of ASTar System. Our sales and support teams are ready to start promotion to our customer base.” 

Launch activities include showcasing ASTar System at the 17th National Conference of Microbiology and Epidemiology, on 7-9 November in Iași, Romania.
