Last week, we discussed early growth isolates for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and the importance of obtaining results sooner. This week, we revisit an earlier study that looked at early growth but using disk diffusion. In this episode, I was joined by Dr. Carey-Ann Burnham, Dr. Daniel Webber, and Meghan Wallace to discuss their work. Tune in to hear how this approach could help deliver AST results faster, the challenges of adopting early growth methods, and what it means for clinical microbiology labs. This episode was originally released in 2022 (Episode 39: "Talking disk diffusion performed on early growth").   Link to disk diffusion study: https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.03007-20   Check out the website: https://www.letstalkmicro.com/ Questions?
