The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just published 'Antimicrobial Resistance Threats in the United States, 2021-2022', highlighting new data which shows: 1) Bacterial antimicrobial-resistant hospital-onset infections increased by a combined 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, peaking in 2021, and remaining above pre-pandemic levels in 2022 for six out of the seven pathogens analysed. 🦠🔬📈 2) The number of reported clinical cases of Candida auris (C. auris) - a type of yeast that can spread in healthcare facilities, is often resistant to antifungal medications, and can cause severe illness - increased nearly five-fold from 2019 to 2022. 🧫 This is a stark reminder that #AMR is an urgent global public health threat, killing at least 1.27 million people worldwide and associated with nearly 5 million deaths annually (Lancet, 2019). The estimated national cost to treat infections caused by six antimicrobial-resistant germs frequently found in health care can be substantial—more than $4.6 billion annually, found a collaborative CDC study. The CDC notes that we can and must do more to combat antimicrobial resistance by investing in encouraging appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use, effective infection prevention and control, and accurate laboratory detection and rapid response. 🥽🔬 At DNA Electronics (DNAe), we believe it is incredibly important to bring sequencing into routine care to rapidly diagnose AMR infections – as that will enable better stewardship of antibiotics as well as better treatment selection for those patients.     DNA Electronics (DNAe) is developing a world’s first rapid, sample to report integrated diagnostic sequencing platform with the mission to bring sequencing to the point of need so it can impact healthcare in different settings. DNAe’s AMR test for its LiDia-SEQ platform will help tackle the threats highlighted in this CDC report by enabling clinicians to rapidly identify bacterial infections, and select the appropriate antibiotic therapy. 🏥 https://lnkd.in/g6-Mff5T  #AMR #sequencing #LiDiA-SEQ #diagnostics #antimicrobialresistance #antibiotics

We look forward to joining the global laboratory medicine community at ADLM 2024 in Chicago later this month hosted by the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine ADLM 2024 (formerly the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo) is an opportunity to connect with global leaders, alongside learning about cutting edge technology, hear vital research and learn about important developments in the field.    Please get in touch if you want to catch-up and learn about the latest progress at DNAe.

As #PRIDE month draws to an end, a big shout out to the team at DNA Electronics (DNAe) for flying the #PRIDE flag and for continuing to foster a culture of belonging and inclusion. #sayingitwithpride

A big thanks to the American Society for Microbiology for an excellent #ASMMicrobe2024 conference. It's been a brilliant few days interatcting with the industry, exchanging ideas and attending insightful presentations highlighting the power of the microbial sciences in changing the world. See you all in 2025! #sequencing #diagnostics #infectiousdiseases #AMR #sepsis

Heading to #ASMMicrobe? The excitement is building as we look forward to joining scientists, researchers and healthcare professionals at one of the largest microbial sciences gatherings in the world. With renowned speakers and an inspiring programme, it promises to be an exciting few days! Please get in touch if you want to catch-up and learn about the latest progress at DNAe.

MP Craig Mackinlay's journey from #sepsis, quadruple amputation and a return to UK Parliament is truly remarkable. His courage in raising awareness of the issue and the efforts of The UK Sepsis Trust are as commendable. https://lnkd.in/e_HNQ2cj Att DNA Electronics (DNAe) we are committed to developing a platform for rapid diagnostics across a broad range of diseases. Our LiDia-SEQ™ platform can detect sepsis causing bloodstream infections in a matter of hours. This means faster diagnosis and treatment for those in need, which could significantly improve patient outcomes. It takes less than five minutes to learn the signs of #sepsis and potentially save lives. https://lnkd.in/ej9p9REq #sepsis #sespsisawareness #sepsissavvy #diagnostics #sequencing

A fantastic line up of presentations and discussions at this year's ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology Breast Cancer 2024, Berlin. Prof Charles Coombes will be presenting during the session 'ctDNA for clinical decision making' - the session offers a look into DNA Electronics (DNAe)'s exciting technology and platform! Date & Time: 16 May 2024. 10:30am CEST, Hamburg Hall Liquid biopsy: Monitoring and targeting in the advanced breast cancer setting (ID 68) https://lnkd.in/e3ZByqe3 #sequencing #diagnostics #breastcancer #oncology #esmo

Great to see another London event lay roots and expand the opportunities for #healthcare companies to showcase and network. Look forward to seeing the London Biotechnology Show grow in the coming years! #LBS24 #diagnostics #sequencing

We are privileged to be a part of the UCLA Symposium on Clinical Metagenomic Technology being held this week in Los Angeles. Due to tremendous advances in genomic sequencing, clinical metagenomics is poised to revolutionize diagnostics for infectious diseases. The symposium brings together researchers developing and deploying clinical metagenomic NGS technology to share best practices and the latest technological advances and evaluating the path forward for regulatory approval, and commercialization of clinical metagenomic NGS #diagnostic technologies. #sequencing #mNGS https://lnkd.in/eTFwnwTn

#ESCMID in full swing with #sepsis front and centre! We are here at #ESCMIDGlobal in Barcelona @ECSMID. Looking forward to meeting the global community, the discussions and presentations.
