Putting the Patient First

Antimicrobial resistance is threatening to significantly reduce the available arsenal of antimicrobials. As a microbiologist, you play a crucial role in providing information that leads to improved therapeutic success and patient outcome (1) - an increasingly difficult task given the rise in antimicrobial resistance.

Helping the clinician select the best treatment fast based on the right identification and resistance information is crucial.

With VITEK® 2 Compact, you can accomplish all this in less time and still focus on those tough tasks requiring a microbiologist's specialised skills.

This highly automated system provides same-day identification and antibiotic susceptibility results.
