Regio Zuid | Towards evidence-based antibiotic care

Every year there are over 400 million cases of UTIs being reported worldwide. In the Netherlands alone 2,6 million people visit their family doctor with symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection every year. Erroneous or even delayed antibiotic administration results to infection complications or even hospitalizations..ShanX is developing a first-of-its kind antibiotic efficiency test that can be used at the doctor’s premises and inform the doctor of the appropriate antibiotic treatment within 4 hours. This in turn enables fast, evidence-based, and personalized antibiotic administration and also contributes to the reduction of antibiotic resistance linked to injudicious antibiotic prescription..
