News & Updates

Antibiotic treatments are often preemptively initiated without knowing the antibiotic resistance profile of the causative pathogen. This leads to potentially inappropriate therapies. Ultra-rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) is key in identifying the effective antibiotics, and here are compelling reasons for healthcare providers to prioritize it.

Antibiotic resistance changes treatable infections into significant health threats. Along with the clinical challenges comes an extra financial load, as antibiotic resistance typically adds around $1,400 to the hospital bill for treating bacterial infections, according to the CDC in the US. This steep rise indicates a concerning trend where healthcare costs climb hand-in-hand with the complexity of treating resistant strains.

Resistell, an EPFL spin-off developing rapid phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) solutions, announces the peer-reviewed article in the Nature Communications journal. The publication marks the completion of the company’s technology validation stage and showcases the potential of the Resistell nanomotion technology platform as a diagnostic in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
