Antimicrobial Resistance Testing

Antibiotic Resistance Gene (ARG)  Detection with Unmatched Precision and Speed

Cosmos-Hub represents a transformative solution for antimicrobial resistance testing, offering antimicrobial resistance detection with unmatched precision and speed to address the challenges of emerging drug resistant pathogens across clinical, environmental, and food sources.

Unlike slow-paced  culture-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing or antibiotic susceptibility testing, Cosmos-Hub leverages advanced bioinformatic  methods and metagenomic  profiling for accurate and reliable test outcomes, all without requiring coding or specialized bioinformatics training.

Why Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling Matters

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized by the World Health Organization as a major public health threat, leading to millions of drug resistant infections and deaths each year. Current laboratory procedures can be inefficient, especially when clinical laboratories rely solely on disk diffusion tests or empiric therapy decisions based on standard minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. These currently used methods may overlook novel resistance mechanisms or emerging antimicrobial resistant bacteria, undermining effective disease control, infection prevention, and patient therapy.

Swift, high-confidence AMR detection is crucial for hospitals and health and human services agencies to limit outbreaks, guide patient care, and reduce healthcare costs, all of which are central aspects of effective antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Cosmos-Hub Technology: Unmatched Precision and Speed

With Cosmos-Hub, researchers and microbiology laboratory specialists can:

  • Profile resistance genes and antimicrobial-class-based resistance profiles across various clinical specimens, including gram negative bacteria, carbapenemase producing bacteria, and yeast isolates implicated in bacterial or fungal infection.

  • Detect antimicrobial resistant infections and track drug resistant pathogens using host-agnostic, k-mer-based analysis for both bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistant fungi.

  • Differentiate shared vs. unique biomarkers of antibiotic resistance or antimicrobial susceptibility, providing comprehensive surveillance and informing effective patient outcomes.
