On Sunday, Selux had the pleasure of hosting Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Boston Chapter intermediate group for a day of hands-on science experiments and learning in the lab. It was an honor to share our work with these future leaders, and we can’t wait to see what they'll accomplish in the years to come. A special thank you to Rafael Francis, Nikitha Sam, and Christina Alexander for organizing and hosting this incredible event. #RapidAST #AntibioticResistance #NGP #Superbugs #SeluxDx #AllSampleTypes

关于我们
Selux Diagnostics is developing a Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) platform that promises to transform infectious disease patient treatment by dramatically increasing the speed and accuracy with which targeted, personalized antibiotic therapies can be prescribed. Earlier, better-informed treatment decisions will save lives, improve patient outcomes, decrease hospital lengths of stay and hospital acquired infections, and help combat the global antibiotic resistance epidemic. The CDC has cited bacterial resistance to antibiotics among the world’s deadliest and costliest health threats. Using current technologies, doctors must overprescribe powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics for days while waiting for key diagnostic results to direct personalized therapy. SeLux NGP is the only platform capable of delivering personalized therapy results for all patients within a day of hospital entry, speeding this targeted treatment by an average of 2 days and as many as 4 days for patients infected with multi-drug resistant organisms. Selux Diagnostics was founded in 2014 by two Yale- and Harvard-trained engineers working in an improvised attic laboratory. On September 25, 2018, SeLux announced that it had signed a milestone-based contract worth up to $45 million with BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). SeLux immediately receives $9.3 million from BARDA to fund the clinical trial necessary for SeLux NGP, SeLux's next-generation phenotyping platform. The additional $36 million will fund the development of SeLux's second-generation rapid sepsis diagnostic system. SeLux has also raised $25 million in Series B financing to support the pivotal FDA trial for SeLux’s NGP platform. The round was led by Sands Capital Ventures and included returning investors RA Capital and Schooner Capital and new investors Sands Capital and Northpond Ventures.

A presentation by Dr. Thomas Kirn, MD, Ph.D., "Does Speed Matter? The Financial and Clinical Impact of Rapid AST," highlights that shorter non-blood culture isolate AST turnaround times resulted in statistically significant reductions in length of stay (LOS), hospital costs, and pharmacy costs. What's arguably even more important, is that the odds of a patient being discharged to home increased. Learn more about how the the Selux AST System is the only FDA-cleared platform capable of performing rapid AST direct from positive blood culture AND isolates.

Dr. Thomas Kirn, MD, Ph.D., says that speed most definitely matters when it comes to antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), both from a cost perspective and a clinical perspective. He highlights that shorter turnaround times (TTR) on isolates lead to better patient outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and reduced costs. Learn more about how Selux's single-platform technology supports clinicians and patients by providing rapid AST results direct from positive blood culture and isolates.

With the new data that's come out on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), it's now more important than ever to evaluate technologies tackling this global health crisis, particularly rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Dr. Thomas Kirn, MD, Ph.D., revealed that 63% of patients had an antibiotic change after receiving rapid AST results. How does this relate to AMR? Rapid AST helps inform treatment decisions, reducing the time spent on ineffective therapies that can contribute to AMR.

The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis is on the rise, with a staggering estimate of nearly 40 million lives at risk by 2050. Though this is a shocking number, there is hope. "In a scenario where the world has better health care, 92 million cumulative deaths could be averted between 2025 and 2050." Rapid AST is a critical component in addressing the issue, as a shorter time to result (TTR) helps decrease the amount of time patients are on ineffective therapies.
