ABSTRACT
Rapid point-of-care tests are needed to control antimicrobial consumption, as recognized by the Longitude Prize. However, in addition to bacterial pathogen identification, clinicians need more information, such as which antimicrobial will be effective and how severe the infection really is.

This article outlines these challenges and how we might overcome them.
