2. FIG. 1
The need for speed in diagnostic microbiology. From patient admission to the making of decisions orienting the management or treatment, gains in time to delivery of results may translate into a better healthcare system. For a life-threatening syndrome such as sepsis, rapid identification of the microbial pathogen in less than 6 h is especially critical for the proper management and treatment of a patient, resulting in lower morbidity and mortality.
