Antibiotic Stewardship
OpGen seeks to be a steward for today’s antibiotics. Using our powerful prediction, tracking and identification technology, we aim to help prevent the spread of drug-resistant microbes, keeping existing drugs effective.
What can we do to stop antibiotic resistance?
IMPROVE LAB
Countries need medical labs to rapidly identify bacteria and choose the right drugs to treat them.
COLLECT & SHARE DATA
Countries need systems to track cases and report results globally to make better policy decisions.
USE ANTIBIOTICS WISELY
To ensure antibiotics are here when we need them, they must be prescribed and taken correctly now.
TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT INFECTIONS
Especially in healthcare settings, good infection control practices are critical to stopping the spread of resistant germs.
