Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A clinical sample testing system includes a portable apparatus for transport and incubation of a clinical sample in a culture vessel. The apparatus includes a sealable container having a thermally insulated compartment for receiving the vessel and a heater for heating the clinical sample to a temperature suitable for pre-culturing it. The system further includes a microorganism detection device which receives the vessel and cultures the clinical sample. The device includes a) a test aliquot extraction device for removing a test aliquot from the vessel and/or from a second culture vessel sampled therefrom, and a DNA testing device for separating DNA from the test aliquot and performing nucleic acid tests on the DNA to identify the microorganism and detecting genetic antimicrobial resistance markers therein and/or b) an antimicrobial susceptibility test device for performing an antimicrobial susceptibility test on the cultured clinical sample or portion thereof by monitoring microbial growth.
