Linking Syndromic testing and AMS
Share this post
Professor Manaf Alqahtani elaborates on AMS in this video, discussing the value syndromic testing — and diagnostic stewardship using syndromic testing — adds to existing AMS programs.
As Professor Alqahtani explains in the video, rapid molecular identification methods — such as syndromic testing — shorten the time taken to identify offending microorganisms. This can result in targeted antimicrobial therapy being given sooner for the appropriate duration, and can subsequently aid antimicrobial stewardship by encouraging efficient use of antimicrobials.
