Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2021

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

Antimicrobial Resistance results in more than 700,000 deaths annually.
The United Nations predict this figure to rise to 10 million deaths annually by 2050.

AusDiagnostics is supporting Antimicrobial Awareness Week in 2021. Find out more about AMR and how we can assist you in performing AMR surveillance below.

Professor Keith Stanley discusses AMR in New Scientist

Professor Keith Stanley, Founder and Managing Director of AusDiagnostics discusses the role of diagnostics in improving drug stewardship. Multiplexed diagnostics that simultaneously detect pathogens and the presence and absence of resistance genes empower healthcare professional to make more informed decisions to improve patient outcomes.

Antimicrobial Resistance Panels

TandemPlex® panels combine a range of clinically significant bacterial targets and resistance genes in a single product to allow comprehensive diagnostic information about infection and drug resistance for the best patient outcome. Future-proof and protect your testing workflows against emerging AMR genes.
