Tackling a global health threat like antimicrobial resistance is not for the faint of heart, but the experienced and innovative team at Pattern Bioscience is on a mission to do it. Each year, drug-resistant bacterial infections claim more than a million lives globally and cost our healthcare system billions of dollars. Traditional diagnostic methods for bacterial infections remain rooted in slow, cumbersome, decades-old technology that contributes to sub-optimal treatment and the misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Pattern system is different. We’re developing the world’s only culture-free, rapid diagnostic technology that will reduce the time needed for pathogen identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) results from days to hours. Our technology combines single-cell analysis of microorganisms with machine learning tools to deliver fast, clinically actionable information. The result? Patients get the right treatment faster, to save lives, prevent side effects and reduce healthcare costs.

Looking for an overview on how we’re tackling antibiotic resistance with our award-winning single-cell microbiology technology? The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine has you covered with their recent article, featuring some insightful excerpts from Carey-Ann Burnham.
Antibiotic resistance is fueled in part by the days-long wait for culture-based tests. During this waiting period, providers often use broad-spectrum antibiotics to avoid treatment failure, inadvertently promoting overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Our solution? Provide same-day phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility results that guide healthcare providers in choosing targeted antibiotics quickly and confidently. #WAAW23 #AMR
There’s currently no rapid diagnostic test for #Pneumonia that provides same-day phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility results. We aim to address this unmet need to help ensure that patients receive the most targeted antibiotic treatment in a timely manner. #WorldPneumoniaDay
