Overview

Electrochemical-based method achieves rapid AST results in urine samples, supporting antimicrobial stewardship and indicating high concordance with standard tests.

Key Points

  • The RapidPlate system shows 94% concordance with standard methods for antibiotic susceptibility testing.
  • Results from the impedance-based platform are obtained in about 85 minutes, significantly faster than traditional methods.
  • A total of 89 urine samples were tested at three clinical sites, demonstrating consistent effectiveness.
  • The platform has potential as a cost-effective tool for improving UTI management and addressing antimicrobial resistance.
