⏳ Testing Duration Affects Results Infections can take longer to detect than you’d think. Extending testing to 14 days, as shown in studies like Bossard J, et al. [1], found infections missed by shorter 7-day tests. Patience can save lives. #InfectionDetection #ExtendedTesting

Time Matters in Cultures
The study also found that some bacteria needed 1-14 days to grow in thioglycolate. If testing is stopped at 7 days, up to five types of bacteria could be missed. Letting bacteria grow within a longer period can help identify all potential infections.
