In industrialized countries, sepsis is responsible for as many deaths as heart attacks

Sepsis is a major health issue and its recorded incidence is rising every year.
Mortality rates can be as high as 50%.
Direct costs per sepsis patient range from €23,000 to €29,000 in Europe.
A microbiological analysis is recommended to narrow the empiric antimicrobial therapy as quickly as possible.

Worldwide, someone dies of sepsis every 3–4 seconds.

Faster detection enables earlier optimization of therapy

The Unyvero BCU Application simultaneously identifies a large panel of bacteria, fungi, and antibiotic resistance genes.

Pathogen identification can take days using routine microbiology methods.
Every hour effective antibiotic treatment is delayed, sepsis mortality risk increases up to 8%.
Early identification can help reduce morbidity and mortality, improve patient care, and reduce healthcare costs.
