The fight against bacteria is one of the greatest challenges faced by societies, especially with the spread of multi drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. The failure to stop the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is due to a lack of fast detection methods and proper strategies. Novel, rapid and reliable detection and characterization tests are an urgent need for differentiating between bacterial and viral infections and identifying AMR, so that the most appropriate treatment can be given in a timely manner. AMR-DetecTool or NG Detectool is a detection system for the direct detection of AMR in clinical samples. The clinical sample is directly processed and a result indicating if the bacteria are resistant to the most relevant antibiotics is immediately shown. It allows for a dramatic reduction in the treatment decision time upon sample reception from 24 hours (current workflow) to 15-30 minutes.

Estimate the diagnostic accuracy of the NG DetecTool device in two populations: population 1 (CTX-M-multi, Carba 5), population 2 (Van A / B, Acinetobacter baumannii-specific oxacillinases (OXA- Ab)).
Timeframe: AMR Detectool results will be obtained within 30 minutes after the patient is included in the study, and the results will be compared to those of the standard routine techniques, that usually require 48 hours.
