Virbac Speed Biogram Bacterial identification Test for dogs and cats

Product Overview and Diagnostic Utility

Speed Biogram is a test gallery designed for the identification of bacteria and the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance risks associated with skin, ear, and urinary tract infections in pets.

• Target Species: Dogs and cats.
• Diagnostic Function: Serves as an essential tool for identifying bacterial susceptibility to various antibiotics, addressing the frequent occurrence of polymicrobial infections involving bacteria and yeasts.
• Clinical Advantages:
• Personalized treatment: Enables the selection of an antibiotic effective against the specific identified micro-organism shortly after the onset of infection, improving recovery rates and prognosis.
• Stewardship: Helps avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which reduces the risk of treatment failure and limits the selection of resistant bacterial strains.
• Risk Management: Identifies infections resistant to common antibiotics to prevent their spread within the household.
• Client Compliance: Providing visual confirmation of test results to pet owners facilitates better compliance with the prescribed treatment plan.
