“Advanced microbial detection in more locations enables quicker diagnosis of bloodstream infections. We can identify the bug and the drug to help inform appropriate antimicrobial treatment. For patients with sepsis, every hour is critical.”

Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition triggered by BSIs and necessitates swift diagnosis to prevent organ failure, shock, and death.

With an estimated 47 million to 50 million cases and 11 million deaths annually worldwide, the need for rapid detection and appropriate antimicrobial therapy is critical.

BD claims that its technology is designed to facilitate these urgent requirements, offering a faster time for detection and aiding in determining suitable treatment options.
