Even worse, the more time bacteria spend exposed to antibiotics that are not effective, the stronger and more resistant the bacteria will become. Hence, the more time a sick patient is treated with the wrong antibiotics, the greater the chance of continued suffering and death all while the antibiotics we do have become less and less useful. So, it isn't just the patient we can help. Rapid AST using gold-standard phenotypic methods will minimize AMR caused by exposure to ineffective and broad-spectrum antibiotics. That means the service life of our current antibiotics can be extended and countless more people can benefit from antibiotics we already have available... We believe that gold-standard phenotypic methods merged with our scientific discoveries and engineering innovations will deliver test results in a few short hours instead of days. At a minimum, our technology will eliminate the waiting and uncertainty people like Dr. Swiger and his family experienced for years. Enabling..
