Abstract
More and more pathogens, including protozoa and bacteria, show resistance against a growing number of drugs.1 Apart from the inconvenience for patients and the costs of unsuccessful use of medication, this trend increases the risk of spreading resistant pathogens through the population, leading to more patients and the risk of outbreaks of epidemics. If the resistance profile of the pathogen was known before medication is started, a correct choice for different medication could often be made. Thus only fast, cheap, and specific tests enabling the characterisation of the resistance profile of pathogens can revert these adverse effects.
