New Diagnostic Workflow Identifies Bloodstream Pathogens and Antibiotic Response in Hours

Image: The “broth” used to monitor red blood cell depletion in whole blood spiked with one colony-forming-unit of E. coli bacteria, each incubated at different orbital shaking speeds—left to right: 0 RPM, 65 RPM, 120 RPM and 200 RPM—after four hours of incubation. This culturing raises a bacteria-rich, plasma-like layer of bacteria to the top of the vials, while clusters of stuck blood cells known as a Rouleaux formation sink to the bottom.

A culture-coupled workflow cuts bloodstream infection diagnosis to 7 hours, enabling early pathogen ID and antibiotic guidance.
