PDF documents for medical microbiologists

Merging culture reports and antibiograms

Microbiological diagnostics include isolate identification, antibiograms, and supplementary typing. Merge the culture list, the antibiogram, and the molecular typing into one integrated microbiological report per sample. Use the split function to provide the antibiogram separately to the treating physician.

Bundling PCR reports and molecular diagnostics

Molecular microbiology includes PCR panels, sequencing results, and resistance gene detection (ESBL, MRSA, KPC). Bundle all molecular results per patient or per sample into one molecular report. Compress the report for secure archiving and transfer to the infectious disease specialist or clinical microbiologist.

Managing outbreak analyses and surveillance reports

Outbreak investigation requires clustering analyses, whole-genome sequencing results, and epidemic curves. Bundle all outbreak documents (WGS, epi-curve, clusters) into one outbreak file per incident. Secure the outbreak file for reporting to the public health authority and the infection prevention committee.

Organising epidemiological surveillance reports

Microbiological surveillance generates monthly and annual resistance statistics for the hospital. Merge the monthly reports into an annual overview per pathogen. Then split the overview into department-specific reports for the treating physicians and the antimicrobial stewardship committee.

Processing sensitive microbiological data in a privacy-safe way

Microbiological reports contain person-related diagnoses (STIs, MRSA carriage, tuberculosis). PDFrust processes all documents locally — no cloud upload. Password-protect microbiological reports when providing them outside the laboratory.
