Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Emerging Technologies for Rapid Phenotypic AST of Clinical Isolates of Bacteria (JCM ed.)
Q: Why aren't there more direct from specimen AST technologies?
Technological challenges and financial considerations make it more viable to focus on blood cultures, which have higher urgency and impact than urine cultures or other specimens with less severity.
Emerging Technologies for Rapid Phenotypic AST of Clinical Isolates of Bacteria (JCM ed.)
Q: What barriers do you see to implementing rapid AST methods?
Financial barriers are significant, including capital costs for instruments and reagents, as well as the challenge of justifying the costs given the lack of additional funding for labs to adopt these new technologies.
Emerging Technologies for Rapid Phenotypic AST of Clinical Isolates of Bacteria (JCM ed.)
Q: Can you kind of start us off and give us a little background on how clinical labs perform AST today?
In a lot of ways, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is similar to how it's been performed for 100 years, often involving paper discs on plates with bacteria or suspensions of bacteria mixed with antibiotics to observe growth inhibition.
The Rise of Measles (AAC ed.)
Q: What can we do to prevent the spread of the virus?
High vaccination rates must be maintained, especially in areas where coverage has fallen below 95%, and targeted public health campaigns should be devised to reach underserved populations.
The Rise of Measles (AAC ed.)
Q: Dr. Halasa, why are we talking about measles now?
Vaccine coverage has fallen below 95%, which is crucial for preventing outbreaks, especially following the COVID pandemic when it dropped from 95% to 92-93%.
