About This Webinar
In the past, when only traditional cultures were available to detect infection-causing fungi and bacteria, doctors had to wait for days and sometimes weeks before they could begin treating infections. With the advent of molecular diagnostics, however, this is no longer the case.

Molecular diagnostic tests allow podiatrists to identify, with impressive specificity and accuracy, the pathogens causing nail, soft tissue and wound infections in their patients. This allows you to devise the most appropriate and personalized treatment plans- improving treatment outcomes and the overall quality of care provided.
