Where rapid molecular AMR markers fit in antimicrobial stewardship: isolation decisions, de-escalation, the limits of single markers, and procurement checks before you buy.
Glossary Term
A WHO procedure that time-limits the listing of diagnostics (and other health products) for use in public-health emergencies when full prequalification is not yet available.
Glossary Term
The sample-preparation stage that lyses cells or virions and purifies DNA/RNA before amplification. Extraction quality (yield, purity, inhibitors removed) often limits assay performance more than the PCR itself, and it defines required instruments and hands-on time in a workflow.
Glossary Term
Set of measurements and inspections taken to verify that performance of equipment and procedures remains within specified limits.
Glossary Term
The difference between the lowest and highest numerical values; the limits or scale of variation.
