Rapid Diagnostics and Antimicrobial Stewardship
By supplying healthcare providers with a comprehensive set of diagnostic information, Abbott empowers a shift in prescribing behavior away from the over-use of antibiotics, which spawned the growing prevalence of serious healthcare-associated infections like MRSA.
Abbott offers best-in-class rapid diagnostics which enable healthcare practitioners to distinguish between respiratory tract infections that require treatment and those that are self-limiting, as well as several other diagnostic tools that can help clinicians identify pathogens at the point-of-care and define an appropriate treatment strategy earlier.
