Specifically designed for the veterinary practitioner, SpeedBiogram can be used for simultaneous bacterial identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing within 24 to 48 hours.

Speed Biogram provides an antibiogram directly from the sample, thus simulating natural conditions.

When results are emonstrated to the owner, Speed Biogram can be used to enhance the diagnosis and improve owner's compliance to the antibiotic treatment.

Why to use Speed Biogram?
The causative organisms in dermatological or urinary infections, are variable (bacteria, yeasts) and associations are common⁽²⁾. The empirical antimicrobial use is associated with the risk of therapeutic failure and contributes to the rising of resistant strains. The demonstration of the results to the owner will facilitate compliance to the prescribed treatment⁽³⁾.

When to use Speed Biogram?
The use of Speed Biogram is indicated in dermatology in cases of pyodermatitis or otitis. SpeedBiogram is ideal for the bacteriological examination of urine, for all urinary infections. SpeedBiogram can be used in first intention or after therapeutic failure to adapt the treatment.
