Sepsis is one of the most frequent causes of death worldwide & yet in many LMICs we have no or low quality phenotypic diagnostics to guide our therapy. This is particularly problematic in the context of neonatal sepsis where ESBL Kleb pneumo is often implicated. @lshtmamrcentre.bsky.social

Molecular cartridge based diagnostics have been a game changer for TB diagnostics - why can we not do the same for blood cultures? Please see our newest publication in collaboration with FIND, Sally Mugabe Central Hospital, the NMRL & @thruzim.bsky.social PLOS: dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
