Fighting drug resistance with point-of-care tests
Antimicrobial resistance, fed by the overprescription of antibiotics, is rapidly becoming a global emergency. Key to limiting the misuse of antibiotics and the formation and spread of resistant bacteria is the development of fast, reliable and accessible diagnostic technologies. We are creating a diagnostic test that can detect multiple infections, and associated resistances within 10 minutes at any point of care.
