“These data highlight the unique ability of our rapid testing approach in development to considerably reduce the time necessary to acquire predicted resistance results compared to traditional antibiotic susceptibility tests (AST). The presented data suggest this rapid testing approach predicts bacterial antibiotic resistance using an algorithm based on minimum inhibitory concentration values with the average positive predictive values greater than 90% for six Gram-negative species commonly known to harbor resistance genes (E. coli, E. cloacae, E. aerogenes, A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae and P.aeruginosa). By identifying and using accurate gene profiles, we anticipate that actionable results can be generated within hours instead of days,” said Evan Jones, Chairman and CEO of OpGen.
The poster titled: “Development of a Rapid Molecular Antibiotic Susceptibility Test,” was presented by Terry Walker, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research & Development. Key findings from the presentation include:
“These preliminary results illustrate our ability to develop algorithms that can leverage resistance gene profiles to predict phenotypic resistance accurately,” said Dr. Walker. “These initial data are very encouraging. We anticipate further improvements in test performance as we complete our planned genomic and phenotypic testing of approximately 10,000 multi-drug resistant organisms in the coming months.”
