Bioguard is proud to announce its first presentation in the United States at the Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX), one of the world’s leading veterinary events.
This milestone marks an important step in Bioguard’s global mission to support veterinarians through better pet healthcare with quality veterinary diagnostic solutions while advancing responsible antimicrobial stewardship.
Champion of Care — VMX 2026 Theme
At VMX 2026, Bioguard presents its featured theme, “Champion of Care,” honouring veterinarians who dedicate themselves to protecting animal health, public health, and the future of medicine
Through this theme, Bioguard highlights the critical role of clinical responsibility in everyday treatment decisions—especially in the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
Champion of Responsibility
At the heart of this message is Bioguard’s core belief:
A Champion of Responsibility is a veterinarian who protects today’s patients and tomorrow’s medicine—by making informed, evidence-based antimicrobial decisions.
This principle reflects the importance of Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) in guiding precise therapy, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use, and supporting long-term antimicrobial stewardship across companion animal practice.
Advancing Responsible Treatment with miniAST
At VMX, Bioguard presented miniAST to U.S. veterinarians through hands-on demonstrations and clinical dialogue focused on real-world antimicrobial decision pathways.
Attendees expressed strong professional interest, noting the clinical relevance of rapid susceptibility insights and the practicality of integrating AST directly into the clinics.
Veterinarians emphasized that access to reliable results within six hours could meaningfully support evidence-based prescribing, reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use, and contribute to long-term antimicrobial stewardship across companion animal medicine.
Bioguard sincerely thanks the veterinarians, partners, and professionals who engaged with the team at VMX 2026 and contributed meaningful insights on responsible antimicrobial care.
As Champions of Care, we move forward together to safeguard animal health today and the future of veterinary medicine for generations to come.
