bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, will unveil a new suite of “Full Microbiology Laboratory Automation” solutions at the 108th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), held June 1-5 in Boston. bioMérieux believes that full microbiology laboratory automation is imperative to streamlining operations and making more reliable results available faster, particularly in light of the growing threat of healthcare-associated infections. Enhanced automation offsets an increasing lack of specialized personnel, contributing to the control of healthcare expenditures.

A team of researchers from the University of Sunderland and bioMérieux, a leading company in the field of in vitro diagnostics, have achieved a new step in the fight against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium responsible for deadly healthcare-associated infections, which kills tens of thousands of people throughout the world every year .1
