Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. An estimated 6 million healthcare-associated infections occur each year across the U.S., Europe and Japan alone. Beyond the human toll, HAIs poses an enormous financial burden to healthcare systems worldwide. BD is committed to applying its expertise, resources and technologies toward the prevention of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Helping to prevent HAIs perfectly aligns with BD's core purpose of "helping all people live healthy lives".

BD Diagnostics offers you a comprehensive range of assays (Screening/Diagnostic; Molecular/ Chromogenic/ Conventional) to identify HAI causing organisms in the most efficient way corresponding to your unique and individual setting.
