Impact of an Automated Plate Reader for MRSA and Urine Chromogenic Culture Plates
The low prevalence (~1% in UK) of MRSA colonisation means much time is spent reading and reporting negative culture plates. Similarly, a large proportion of urine cultures yield no significant bacterial growth. As such, a large amount of scientist time...

Evaluation of the APAS Independence as an artificial intelligence tool for urine culture reporting in a clinical hospital setting
Urine cultures (UC) constitute up to 30-40% of the workflow in clinical microbiology laboratories. Staffing considerations represent contemporary challenges, new tools are needed to address increasing demands and the evolving diversification of microbiology workflow.
