Bloodstream Infection Testing Market Trends
The notable increase in healthcare-associated bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) in recent years serves as a driving factor for the market. The surge in cases, particularly attributed to the use of intravascular catheters, has raised significant concerns globally.
- As per the World Health Organization (WHO), antimicrobial-resistant pathogens causing bloodstream infections has become the second leading cause of global burdens related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in a substantial number of fatalities worldwide.
- Healthcare-associated bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) rank second in Europe among healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) in terms of frequency of disability and early mortality. These results underline the critical need for efficient interventions in the healthcare industry and demonstrate the substantial influence of HA-BSIs on patient outcomes.
