Problem
The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public health, complicating infection treatments and increasing risks associated with medical procedures. Current monitoring methods often lack the comprehensive environmental surveillance needed to understand and mitigate the spread of AMR effectively.
Solution
Resistomap provides environmental surveillance services for antibiotic resistance, utilizing advanced molecular techniques and data science to monitor and map resistance genes in various ecosystems. The company's high-throughput quantitative PCR (HT-qPCR) technology enables precise data collection and analysis, identifying AMR trends and potential hotspots. Resistomap's cloud-based platform transforms quantitative AMR data into actionable insights, offering key metrics such as the Antibiotic Resistance Gene Index (ARGI) and AMR gene removal efficiency. This allows stakeholders to assess risks, implement early detection systems, and develop long-term strategies to combat AMR.
Target Audience
Resistomap serves academic institutions, government bodies, water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, public health organizations, and companies in the aquaculture, livestock, and food safety sectors seeking to monitor and mitigate antimicrobial resistance.
