Antibiograms vs CliMic

Antibiograms help healthcare professionals and clinical microbiologists choose the most effective antibiotics to empirically treat infections, based on local susceptibility patterns. Now this valuable information can be available to them on iPhone/iPad mobile devices. With the Antibiograms app, you simply select a bacterium, select a patient group, and you are given the proportion of susceptible organisms for each antibiotic tested in your local laboratory. Features: - download multiple databases and switch between them quickly and easily - customizable fields for each drug or organism, which can be populated with treatment recommendations, drug dosing and costing information, or clinical alerts specific for your hospital/health region - easy to update by emailing new databases to users To learn how to create an Antibiograms database for your laboratory, hospital, or health region, contact our support. You can distribute your database via email, and then open it in this app. DISCLAIMER: This app has been developed for use by qualified healthcare professionals only.

CliMic is a reference of blood culture microorganisms and its antimicrobial susceptibility, aimed at helping the clinician to implement an appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy by knowing the ecology of multidrug resistant bacteria. • Quickly visualize antimicrobial susceptibility results, grouped by isolate or by antimicrobial. • List isolated microorganisms by its frequency according to the different sources of bacteraemia. • Distinguish results between the nosocomial and the outpatient settings. At this time, the app contains data from bacteraemia episodes treated in Hospital Clinic de Barcelona. ----- Antimicrobial resistance has become a public health problem. The surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in the nosocomial setting is among the measures to be taken to control the emergence and spread of multidrug resistant bacteria.
