Definition
BBC's definition of the worldwide IVD Microbiology Products market includes instrument, reagent, and service revenue generated on automated microbiology systems for identification/antimicrobial susceptibility test (ID/AST) panel testing and blood culture testing as well as media and supplies (plated culture media). The Microbiology Products automated systems business continues to benefit from a conversion from manual/semi-automated testing to automated methods while the more mature media and supplies business is shaped heavily by fluctuations in volume. BBC also tracks microbiology data management systems for automated assurance control and remote monitoring of emerging resistance and susceptibility patterns. Currently, a growing area of importance is the rise of "Healthcare Associated Infections" stemming from building drug resistance (for instance MRSA/MSSA) in the hospital setting.
