Speed Biogram

Bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity

Why use Speed® Biogram?

The causative organisms in dermatological or urinary infections, are varied (bacteria, yeasts) and associations are common(2). The blind use of antibiotic therapy is associated with the risk of therapeutic failure and contributes to the selection of resistant strains. The visualization of results of analysis by the owner will facilitate compliance with the prescribed treatment (3).

When should you perform Speed® Biogram?

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

  • Specifically designed for the veterinary surgeon, Speed® Biogram can be used for simultaneous bacterial identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing within 24 to 48 h.
  • Speed® Biogram delivers an antibiogram directly to the sample, to mimic natural conditions.
  • When the results are explained to the owner, Speed® Biogram can be used to back up the diagnosis and improve compliance with the antibiotic treatment.
