🦠 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often described as a “silent pandemic”, but for pediatric care, its impact is immediate and deeply personal.

🩺 Children are uniquely vulnerable. With developing immune systems and limited pediatric-specific data, clinicians often face difficult decisions amid rising resistance and shrinking treatment options.

📑 In our latest Insight Hub article, we explore why diagnostics and education are critical to improving decision-making, supporting antimicrobial stewardship, and ultimately protecting the most vulnerable patients.

💡 From guiding timely treatment to reducing uncertainty in care, diagnostics play a central role in strengthening the AMR response, especially in children.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Children: Why Diagnostics and Education Matter A pediatric perspective on antimicrobial resistance, exploring vulnerability, difficult decisions, and why diagnostics and education matter.

💡 From symptoms to action. From uncertainty to confidence.

👉 Join Professor Valeria Cento and Dr. Christophe Martinaud for a live webinar on how a stewardship-led approach to syndromic GI testing can help support fast, informed clinical decision-making. Discover how broader pathogen coverage, rapid turnaround time, and targeted test selection can help optimize diagnostic pathways, support antimicrobial stewardship, and patient management.

“Because smells like it… isn’t a diagnosis.” When patients present with vaginitis symptoms, they’re looking to you for clear answers—not variability. Even though Amsel’s criteria are a standard for BV, differences in clinical assessment can create diagnostic challenges that may impact clinical management and follow-up. Xpert® Xpress MVP (Multiplex Vaginal Panel) detects DNA targets associated with BV, Candidiasis, and Trichomoniasis—in ~60 minutes.
