Bel ieve in Inno vat ion ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING Alifax clinical susceptibility testing is the unique test that gives results in only 3 hours In cases of serious bacterial infections the timely administration of an effective antibiotic therapy is associated with an increase in disease resolution and subsequent patient survival. For this reason, the microbiology laboratory has to provide "clinically useful results" in order to guide the clinician to choose the most appropriate antibiotic therapy as soon as possible. Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) results facilitate effective treatment, reduce the number of laboratory tests ordered, days of hospitalization and Public Health costs. In addition, they are useful to monitor the evolution of resistant bacteria.
