LYVA Labs has invested £100K in Lancaster University spin-out, CCI Photonics’ med-tech device that detects bacteria in urinary tract infections (UTIs), to improve the accuracy of antibiotic prescribing. The 15-minute test identifies the correct antibiotics to prescribe, to combat anti-microbial resistance resulting from the over-prescribing or mis-prescribing of anti-biotics for UTIs. When patients are initially treated with the wrong antibiotic for their infection or multiple antibiotics, it can have poor outcomes for anti-microbial resistance, and it’s hoped this device can support the more accurate use of antibiotics, for their future conservation.
