Vexing problems oftimes lead to creative solutions. OpGen's robust ingenuity is a case in point.
Problem: "Antibiotic resistance is a global threat. There is no system in place to track antibiotic resistance globally. Without urgent action, many modern medicines could become obsolete, turning even common infections into deadly threats." -U.S. Center for Disease Control

*02Oct2020 OpGen's wholly owned Ares Genetics GmbH* (Vienna) won the Austria State Prize for innovation with their Project "ARESupa- Molecular Antibiotic Resistance Diagnostics using Artificial Intelligence - With a (Ares Genetics) universal pathogen test, antibiotic resistance from germs can be predicted quickly and accurately."
OpGen subsidiary Ares Genetics, which combines Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with ARESdb, is the world‘s most comprehensive database on the genetics of antibiotic resistance. ARESdb is also the world’s largest database of genetic antibiotic resistance markers and predictive AMR panels. ARESdb contains thousands of whole genome sequenced clinical isolates collected from more than 200 centers globally. ARESdb combines broad resistance profiles with high-quality genetic information and enables pathogen identification with up to >99% accuracy and antibiotic resistance detection with ~98% accuracy. ARESdb covers 30 years of emerging antibiotic resistance to accurately detect AMR and combines deep whole-genome sequencing data with antibiotic resistance profiles continuously expanded. Partners include Sandoz, QIAGEN, Merck, HIPS, Curetis, BGI, Max Perutz Labs Vienna, MGI.
