Impact of an Automated Plate Reader for MRSA and Urine Chromogenic Culture Plates

by Naz Haidari|25 July 202225 July 2022|APAS Independence, Conference Posters, Infection Control, MRSA Analysis Module, Urine Analysis Module

The low prevalence (~1% in UK) of MRSA colonisation means much time is spent reading and reporting negative culture plates. Similarly, a large proportion of urine cultures yield no significant bacterial growth. As such, a large amount of scientist time...

Evaluation of the APAS Independence as an artificial intelligence tool for urine culture reporting in a clinical hospital setting
