Revolutionary Molecular Culture ID Technology to Transform Bacterial Diagnostics

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Oct 2024

Bacterial infections pose a major threat to public health, contributing to one in five deaths worldwide. Current diagnostic methods often take several days to provide results, which can delay appropriate treatment, extend hospital stays, and negatively affect patient outcomes. Given that hospitals conduct hundreds of bacterial diagnostic tests daily, this lag in diagnosis is a critical issue. Now, a groundbreaking technology is set to revolutionize the field of infectious disease diagnostics, offering faster and more accurate treatment, saving lives, and improving patient outcomes.

inbiome (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) has introduced Molecular Culture ID, a new diagnostic test that combines advanced chemistry with artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly detect and identify over 200 bacterial species from various bodily samples. This innovative technology delivers same-day, highly accurate diagnoses, drastically reducing waiting times, improving patient outcomes, and lowering healthcare costs. Molecular Culture ID enhances the diagnosis of critical infections, such as pleural, peritoneal, joint, bone, pericardial, and surgical wound infections, marking a significant leap forward in the timely and effective treatment of bacterial infections.

Molecular Culture ID is the first in a series of diagnostic advancements that inbiome plans to launch in the coming years. The company aims to achieve same-day diagnostics for all infectious diseases by 2030, a goal that promises to revolutionize global healthcare and patient care. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Device Designation for the Molecular Culture ID. inbiome is planning to introduce the technology to the U.S. market by early 2026 and is collaborating with leading U.S. hospitals on implementation studies to ensure seamless integration into hospital workflows.

"We are honored to receive this designation from the FDA," said Dries Budding, CEO of inbiome. "With Molecular Culture ID our ambition is to revolutionize diagnostics of infectious diseases. This recognition by the FDA will help us bring this innovation to patient care as soon as possible."
