Ensuring universal access to affordable antimicrobial sensitivity testing within two hours.
The Rise of Antimicrobial Resistance.
With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, infections become increasingly difficult to treat and more life threatening. From diagnosis to treatment, time is of the essence. Urinary tract infections rank among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Current urine culture methods can take up to 3 days to confirm an infection, with further time required to determine the resistance profile of the pathogen. During this timeline the infection will likely worsen and spread, potentially becoming life threatening.
Condensing the process
ResistID provide an innovative solution for the rapid identification of antimicrobial resistance that works by analysing bacterial metabolism. We believe detection should be fast, affordable, and portable so our method provides results within two hours. By incorporating our colorimetric technology with mobile-based detection, we can eliminate the need for expensive, bulky, and often confusing specialist equipment.
A Global Threat
Antimicrobial resistance ranks among the top global threats to public health and development; responsible for roughly 5 million deaths per year and forecast to cost almost 5 trillion US dollars in losses per year by 2030. Unless we see a drastic shift in approaches, antimicrobial resistance threatens to put many of the gains of modern medicine at risk. Making infections harder to treat and routine medical procedures much riskier.
