This preliminary study provides a decisive answer: yes, it can. The document evaluates the Ai5 Lab Module, which integrates a smart incubator equipped with continuous monitoring to detect the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) early and efficiently. The dual protocol system, which uses time-based and growth-based detection methods, demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can optimise the work of clinical microbiologists.

In the preliminary study, 57 nasal swabs were analysed to determine the presence of MRSA. Using continuous monitoring, it can be concluded that the system shortened the diagnostic time by between 9 and 15 hours. The AI system demonstrated 100% sensitivity in detecting microbial growth, with no false negatives, offering a clear advantage in early detection and infection control.

This innovative technology not only reduces diagnostic time but also enhances the ability to prevent nosocomial infections, representing a significant shift for clinical laboratories.
