Our Expertise
An industry leading database and AI powered bioinformatics platform convert isolate genome data into epidemiologically actionable information.
Ares analytics enable accurate pathogen identification1,2 and AMR detection3 in line with FDA requirements for diagnostic antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) systems.4
Predictive AST is the prediction of antimicrobial susceptibility profiles from genomic data. Resistance markers tell only one side of the story. Whether a pathogen is susceptible to antibiotic therapy can depend on a combination of different genes and genomic mutations. Unlike other solutions that purely rely on AMR gene detection, Ares Genetics aims to set the standard for AI-powered predictive antibiotic susceptibility testing (predictive AST).2,3,5,6,7 Predictive models for a wide range of pathogen-drug combinations are trained using an industry-leading collection of continuously curated clinical pathogen genomes and associated antibiotic susceptibility profiles.
ARESai
ARESai uses machine learning efforts aimed to set the industry standard for AI-powered infectious disease testing in accordance with FDA guidelines.8,9
ARESdb
ARESdb is a comprehensive collection of resistance-associated genes and genetic markers for AMR. ARESdb also stores training data and AI predictive models.
AREScloud
AREScloud is a web-based, user-friendly portal to Isolate Reports and an interface enabling decentralized NGS- based Isolate Analysis for reference labs and medical centers.
