Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of the constantly increasing range of infections caused by bacteria. In fact, the spreading of bacteria resistant to antibiotics is a growing threat to public health, leading to 426,000 hospital contracted infections and 33,000 deaths per year in Europe at present. 

This strongly correlates with 

• the lack of rapid tests that could identify the type(s) of resistant bacteria within a short time frame and 
• the lack of standardised strategies for developing efficient diagnosis pathways to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria.  

The AMR DetecTool project is an answer to this challenge: it evaluates and brings to market a new set of tests that ensure a quick response time in hospitals for identifying the best antibiotics for patients. 

This website offers information about the AMR DetecTool project, key information about AMR and rapid tests.
