With 820,000 new infections every year in the US, antibiotic resistance will spread quickly, which is why the CDC has resistant gonorrhea at an urgent threat level, the highest level available.Shield's novel genomic testing platform enables STI clinics to identify the antibiotic resistant strains of gonorrhea and other pathogens that their patients have, so they can select the correct antibiotics and halt the spread of antibiotic resistance.
