CLINICAL24 Forum: Finding the balance between rapid diagnostics and traditional microbiology

Friday, November 13 at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 08:00 PST

This forum will examine how infection diagnostics are evolving to meet the demands of modern healthcare, where clinicians need actionable results in hours rather than days. Against a backdrop of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), sepsis, emerging pathogens, workforce pressures, and rising healthcare costs, our expert panel will discuss how rapid diagnostic technologies are transforming clinical decision-making and patient care.

From syndromic PCR panels and host-response biomarkers to blood-culture-independent approaches, we will explore where rapid diagnostics are delivering clinical value and where challenges remain. The discussion will also highlight the continuing importance of traditional microbiology, including culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), surveillance, outbreak investigation, and antimicrobial stewardship.

Rather than debating rapid versus traditional approaches, the forum will focus on how laboratories can integrate both to deliver faster, more actionable results. Join leading experts as they discuss the future of infection diagnosis and answer audience questions during a live Q&A.
