Resistance diagnostics as a public health tool to combat antibiotic resistance: A model-based evaluation

2018-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Rapid point-of-care resistance diagnostics (POC-RD) are a key tool in the fight against antibiotic resistance. By tailoring drug choice to infection genotype, doctors can improve treatment efficacy while limiting costs of inappropriate antibiotic prescription. Here we combine epidemiological theory and data to assess the potential of RD innovations in a public health context, as a means to limit or even reverse se...
