ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE, IN A NUTSHELL
Bacteria are evolving rapidly and learning how to break down the antibiotics we rely on, making infections harder to treat.
Drug-resistant infections now cause over 1.2 million deaths each year, posing a major global health threat.
​
Finding the right antibiotic early is critical, yet doctors often start with broad-spectrum drugs when results are slow.
This exposes bacteria to multiple antibiotics at once, accelerating resistance and reducing future treatment options.
THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS
TRADITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS FALLING SHORT
Most tools used to detect antibiotic resistance are slow, expensive, and depend on specialised laboratories and trained staff.
When time matters most, these tests are often out of reach.
A DIAGNOSTIC GAP
Since fast and reliable tests are not widely accessible, many doctors are forced to prescribe antibiotics based on past patterns.
As bacteria evolve rapidly, this approach is increasingly unreliable and leads to poor outcomes.
Why does this matter in
SEPSIS?
In sepsis, infection spreads through the blood and begins damaging organs within hours.
Without fast insight into antibiotic effectiveness, doctors rely on broad-spectrum drugs while waiting for slow test results, risking treatment failure when resistance is present.

That is why we built
Sepsis One is a rapid diagnostic kit that helps clinicians identify which antibiotic will work for a sepsis patient.
Sepsis One combines 4 tests that give clinicians insights into the antibiotics - Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone and Piperacillin-Tazobacta!
By detecting resistance based on active bacterial behaviour rather than genes alone, Sepsis One delivers results directly from patient samples in under an hour, without culturing, enabling faster and more informed treatment decisions.
