Lennart Grebelius’ Post

Globally, 10 million new cases every year and 4000 people die every day due to Tuberculosis (TB). TB is curable if detected at early stages and treated with correct antibiotics. If not, the TB bacteria develops resistance and becomes a challenge for diagnosis and treatment. Rapid and ac curate detection of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains is urgently needed to effectively treat patients and prevent spreading of drug-resistant TB in the community. EMPE Diagnostics AB, Sweden has developed a technology that can rapidly detect the TB causing bacteria and its drug-resistance profiles in less than 3 hours, directly from patients’ sputum samples. Sätila Impact svb AB invested in EMPE at an early stage.
