An electronic survey was devised by the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC) Rapid Diagnostics and Biomarkers working group focussing on the availability, structure and impact of RDTs around the world. The International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC)'s Rapid Diagnostics and Biomarkers Working Group conducted this international survey aiming to identify and highlight some key issues related to RDTs and their impacts in clinical practice and provide a number of key points to consider while adopting a RDT. Our survey highlights the availability of these tests in different resource settings, as well as the current models for governance, quality control and reporting. ./cache/cord-323476-rb9n5wc0.txt ./txt/cord-323476-rb9n5wc0.txt
