  • Generation of data for use with antimicrobials
    Patent number: 11154853
    Abstract: An assay is performed so as to identify a pathogen in a sample taken from a patient. The identity of the pathogen in the patient sample is used to select an antimicrobial for treatment of the patient. The antimicrobial can be selected in less than 7 hours after the patient sample is taken from the patient. For instance, when the sample is blood, the antimicrobial can be selected in less than 7 hours after the patient sample is taken from the patient. When the sample is urine, the antimicrobial can be selected in less than 4 hours after the patient sample is taken from the patient.

  • GENERATION OF DATA FOR USE WITH ANTIMICROBIALS
    Publication number: 20200056220
    Abstract: A method of data collection includes culturing a sample that was generated from a raw sample. The raw sample was taken from a patient and the sample includes a pathogen when the raw sample included the pathogen. An assay sample is generated from a portion of the sample such that the assay sample includes the pathogen when the sample included the pathogen. The sample is cultured for a time period that less than hours and greater than or equal to 0.0 hours before the portion of the test sample was taken from the test sample. The assay sample is assayed so as to determine whether the pathogen is present in the assay sample.
