In #bloodstreaminfections direct-from-blood detection is the holy grail. Fantastic talks with ultrarapid, single cell AST, integrated sample to result and critical review. Thx to co-chair Robin Patel @mayoclinic.org and Hyelyn Joo, Johan Elf, Kim Chapin, Anna Peri @escmid.bsky.social #ESCMIDGlobal

Need to get balance right between tech innovation and capacity and infrastructure building to ensure timely uptake and utilisation, Alexandra Cameron. Have a look at the recent WHO Fungal diagnostics landscape report, I had the pleasure to contribute. @who.int @escmid.bsky.social #PipelineMonday

Looking for the #PipelineMonday? Go along the light long corridor where the sun shines to find the presentations and discussions on innovation. Two sessions in their full swing with a full house!! Hall 12 and Arena 4 #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 14, 2025 at 8:05 AM
A lot is to be done to enhance uptake of fungal #diagnostics. Innovation in technology but also guidelines and regulation. Fully agree with Milena Sinigaglia and JT Harrison #PipelineCorner #PipelineMonday #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 14, 2025 at 7:57 AM
Fungal #PipelineCorner is packed in the great Arena setting #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social discussing pipeline and innovation in fungal therapeutics and diagnostics. Interest in #PipelineMonday is great

Great presentation of #ESCMIDGlobal Diagnostic Pipeline Corner veteran Esme Iseri of #Utilizer showing plans to go for rapid AST with their 'digital dipslide' for #UTI. Incubator needed, 8h, 36C. Good discussion on temp variation impact. #AMR #POCT #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 13, 2025 at 7:59 AM
Marit Bot used Rapid ESBL NP and ResistanceFinder tests directly on UTI samples. Interesting data, cloudiness of urine impacted on readout and discrepancies found. Will go on for further validation. #AMR #POCT #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 13, 2025 at 7:41 AM
'For detection bacterja at POCT we basically have nothing (except Streptest)' Patrice Nordman presenting susceptibility test (Rapid AmpNP) for bla for UTI based on nitrocefin. Done on 10^3 CFU/mL and more. Need centrifige. 30 -120min. 15-20 EUR. #AMR #POCT #ESCMIDGlobal 2025
April 13, 2025 at 7:24 AM
Christian Moguet of NG Biotech on a LFT for DHA type enzynes (plasmid and chrom). Showed dependency test line intensity from expression level. Will need a reader for quantification. CMY is coming next. Will cover other enzymes to achieve utility #AMR #POCT #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 13, 2025 at 6:56 AM
Interesting opening talk by Julia Rogers of ga Diagnostics on lateral flow test for #KPC from lower repiratory infections. LOD not determined yet but tested with 'extraction from sputum using liquefying agents' without culture. #AMR #POCT #RTI #ESCMIDGlobal @escmid.bsky.social

Good morning everyone at #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 On to another exciting productive day in Vienna. Have a wonderful Sunday @escmid.bsky.social

Fantastic to see so many of the wonderful Edinburgh Fleming Fund Fellows at #ESCMIDGlobal @escmid.bsky.social for a face to face connection to Heidi Hopkins @mottmacdonald.bsky.social and Maneesh Paul after they saw him online at our recent #AMR Forum seminar @uoe-eid.bsky.social
April 12, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Many many congratulations to the ESCMID awardees!
April 12, 2025 at 5:23 PM
What a wonderful session on use of #diagnostics in the #community! Lots of evidence for positive impact but also barriers for utilisation and need for training. Thanks to the chairs Heiman Wertheim and Sonja Lewycka and speakes #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @heiman-wertheim.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social
April 12, 2025 at 4:43 PM
Great final talk in the session of Yoel Lubell of #MORU on cost effectiveness of #CRP #POCT. A lot to be learned from #malaria #RDTs. A new multiplex biomarker test to differentiate viral and bacterial infection is coming soon. Read the take home messages. #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
April 12, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Wonderful talk of @helenzambart.bsky.social on #CRP testing in diagnosing #TB in #Zambia. CRP does not distinguish TB from other infections but may have a value in TB/Lung sceening. Note that #POCT needed to be moved out of high temperature environment. #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social

Testing for #CRP in community pharmacies. Staff stopped using test after initial results all showed that no antibiotic was needed. Thought tests not working and feared loss of Abx revenues. Allowed to charge 1USD and training helped to reverse this. A. Onwunduba #ESCMIDGlobal @escmid.bsky.social
April 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Powerful case for point of care testing of #CRP in primary care and #pharmacies to avoid unnecessary #antibiotic use. Sensitisation of healthcare workers and patients is required to ensure uptake. Thi Thuy Nga Do of #OUCRU #POCT #AMR #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 @escmid.bsky.social
