Time-consuming microbiological diagnosis
3 days – 1 month
Sample culture
Isolation and identification
Antimicrobial resistance
Wait for growth
“The diagnostic is essentially clinical. Serological testing
normally takes 3 days while cultural exams, when possible, can
take at least 2-6 days” (MªLuz Araújo, infecciologist)
