Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Dynamics

Drivers: Emergence of multidrug resistance due to drug abuse

The rise of drug resistance poses a significant threat to global health, particularly in the context of antibiotics. Antibiotics are becoming less effective as drug-resistant strains of bacteria spread worldwide. This has profound implications for disease treatment, as it makes infections more difficult to treat and ultimately increases mortality rates.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified drug-resistant pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, as a major concern. Urgent development of new drugs is necessary to combat these infections effectively. However, without a fundamental change in the way antibiotics are used, the effectiveness of these new treatments may be compromised.

Misuse and overuse of antibiotics contribute to the development of drug resistance. Factors such as inappropriate prescribing, improper self-medication, and the use of antibiotics in livestock and agriculture all contribute to the problem. These practices create an environment where bacteria can adapt and develop resistance mechanisms, rendering antibiotics less effective over time.

To preserve the efficacy of antibiotics, it is crucial to promote responsible antibiotic use. This includes raising awareness among healthcare providers and the general public about appropriate antibiotic prescribing and the importance of completing prescribed courses of treatment. Additionally, robust regulations and surveillance systems are needed to monitor antibiotic use in various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, and veterinary medicine.

Efforts to develop new antibiotics should be complemented by strategies to optimize their use, such as antibiotic stewardship programs and infection prevention and control measures. Research into alternative treatment options, such as phage therapy and immunotherapies, is also essential to diversify the arsenal against drug-resistant bacteria.

Opportunities: Growth opportunities in emerging market

The antimicrobial susceptibility testing market players are poised with significant opportunities in developing countries such as APAC (Asia-Pacific), India, China, and Japan. These countries are experiencing a notable growth in the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market, driven by several factors.

Firstly, the booming medical tourism industry in these regions attracts a large influx of patients seeking healthcare services, including diagnostics. This surge in medical tourism creates a demand for antimicrobial susceptibility testing as part of the diagnostic process.

Secondly, the adult population (over 20 years old) is growing in these countries, leading to a higher prevalence of infectious diseases. As a result, there is an increased need for accurate and timely antimicrobial susceptibility testing to guide appropriate treatment decisions.

Additionally, the increasing use of drugs in these regions contributes to the demand for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. With a growing population and expanding healthcare access, the requirement for testing to guide optimal drug selection and treatment outcomes becomes crucial.

Moreover, these countries possess a strong and skilled workforce that is well-versed in high technology. This skilled workforce plays a vital role in the successful implementation and operation of advanced antimicrobial susceptibility testing technologies, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Furthermore, the relatively lax import/export laws in these regions provide an advantageous environment for market players to expand their brands and offerings. The underdeveloped nature of certain areas in these countries presents opportunities for companies to introduce and establish their technologies, filling gaps in the market and addressing unmet needs. 

The growing number of technicians and their desire to learn and adopt new technologies further contribute to the development and updating of antimicrobial susceptibility testing capabilities in these regions, fostering innovation and advancements in the field.

Challenges: Complex Regulatory Frameworks

One of the major challenges in antibiotic susceptibility testing is the time gap between establishing clinical thresholds, obtaining regulatory approval for innovative antimicrobial treatments, and bringing those drugs to market. The process of gaining approval for new drugs involves stringent guidelines set by regulatory bodies like the FDA, which can result in significant delays.

The lack of established clinical thresholds for certain drugs further complicates the use of products aimed at increasing the susceptibility of microorganisms. Clinical thresholds are important benchmarks used to determine the effectiveness and appropriate usage of antimicrobial therapies. In some cases, such as invasive mold infections other than Aspergillus, the efficacy of antifungal therapy cannot be accurately assessed without the availability of specific clinical thresholds.

This time lag and absence of clinical thresholds can hinder the timely utilization of innovative antimicrobial treatments. It delays access to potentially life-saving therapies and limits healthcare professionals' ability to make informed decisions regarding treatment choices. The gap between setting clinical thresholds, regulatory approval, and market availability needs to be addressed to ensure that effective antimicrobial treatments reach patients in a timely manner and contribute to the fight against drug-resistant microorganisms.

Restraints: High Cost of automated Laboratory Instruments

Automated equipment for antimicrobial laboratories is quite expensive and offers premium features and functionality. The introduction of automated AST systems shortens incubation and detection times. Another barrier to this market is the high maintenance cost of  these devices, which come with the latest software and require regular maintenance.

Spoilers for Netflix’s Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft

so how are we feeling about ss endurance chat?

how much doomed yuri do you think i can handle before i tap out?

the way in one of the eps lara freaks out and just caves, deciding to call sam even though she’s been avoiding her after yamati situation… they need to reconcile with each other so bad it hurts, i’ll forever hate square for writing out their kiss and retconning their relationship because of dudebro homophobia. after watching all 8 eps, i’d say the series is def a 8.5/10 for me personally!! i love how much they’re leaning into this side of lara, and how much the other characters are willing to call her out lol

i know due to some of the themes it’s definitely gonna get shit on by dudebros and journalists alike, which makes enjoying it so much sweeter. there’s so much queer subtext with lara’s character here (and her relationship with sam) that it’s almost asinine to deny it. since they’re obviously setting up something with sam given the end of episode 8, i’m excited to see what direction season 2 goes, and what the reaction to that will be.

as for the plot, i think the villain of the season was okay, it’s definitely nice that they mirrored his trauma with that of lara’s own, though i think more could have been done with the whole “light organization” plot line. it felt like they were supposed to be trinity levels of bad, but we’re only really told about the bad things they’ve done, rather than shown it. there’s def room for improvement writing wise but all in all it was a good watch, would recommend if you’re a fan of the trilogy

the ss endurance subtext is so delicious. give me 15 of ‘em

a "what-if" pyrolisk and apollo never saved him, hephaestus throwing him and leaving him in the alley.... where a sliver of skulk found him :)

Joel and Sausage feel bad for not noticing sooner, but at least being heroes they can take him in for treatment,, he's not too far gone for that right??

Currently suffering an ear infection and all I can think is how you said Vasco is prone to them. Does he get miserable and exhausted from the pain or is he more the type to get short tempered and cranky?

Imagine Soundwave doing this and making out with Shockwave while bullying his valve

Shockwave fucking loves it (and his gorgeous husband) and is moaning louder than usual, spurring Soundwave into fucking him harder and harder until they both overload

Shockwave does ask him to help fix his emotional suppressors afterwards, he did have fun but now he's overwhelmed

Soundwave thinks it’s so hot that Shockwaves suddenly being so loud, but afterwards he’s just really concerned. The way I see it Shockwave doesn’t have emotional suppressors as much as that’s just how he is, so Soundwave is legitimately concerned that he fucked Shockwave so hard that he gave him brain damage.

watched a playthrough of Still Wakes the Deep (PHENOMENAL game) and i am disappointed that Caz did not have that taffy in him. everything seemed like it was perfectly set up for him to have that taffy in him (being presumed dead after rescue, knowing where the taffy stuff was around him, surviving as long as he did, not getting horribly injured, hearing things from the Big Taffy) but i completely understand why that wasn't the twist the game developers went for.

however, in order to cope i am now imagining a version of the game where Caz got Ethan Winters'd by the taffy after he fell in the water. this would affect the gameplay at multiple points and add new mechanics as well as incorporate the original ones, and certainly provide some conflict for a man who just wants to get home to his wife and daughters and keep his friends safe.

bonus! being taffy'd would give the player the option to save people who originally died by sacrificing Caz's humanity bit by bit and embracing the taffy more to overcome obstacles. you could even communicate with the already fully taffy'd guys and get them to calm down or move or target specifically you instead of other people.

just a concept, i probably won't do much with it. but i do have a very distinct image of Caz having a shiny oilslick sheen to his eyes like the Big Taffy after he's pulled out of the water.
