Sepsis is responible for
Weezion dx
Patented Technology
Weezion dx is a patented technology for in-vitro diagnosis of sepsis bacteremia or fungemia. From a positive blood culture vial, the Weezion dx technology identifies the microorganism causing sepsis (bacteria or yeast) and predicts its antibiotic resistance within 90 minutes…compared to 24 hours today!
Reducing this diagnostic time greatly increases the patient survival rate, as the latter is inversely proportional to the time taken to administer an appropriate treatment; thus, the survival rate drops from 80% to 20% if the appropriate treatment can be administered within 12 hours. *

Identification
Thanks to Weezion's patented method using mass spectrometry, the pathogen (bacteria or yeast) responsbile for sepsis can be identified through a deterministic sampling of a large panel of protein peptide reporters.
Resistance Profile
The Weezion dx diagnostic method makes it possible to jointly detect and quantify the proteins involved in antiobiotic resistance, thus predicting the antibiotic resistance profile of the pathogen.
Treatment
The diagnosis obtained by the Weezion dx ensures that an effective and targeted antibiotic treatment can be adminstered, reducing the use of broad-spectrum therapies that increase antibiotic resistance, declared as a glocal cause by the WHO.
Virulence
The Weezion dx method detects and quantifies bacterial virulence factors. It is currently operational for Staphylococcus aureus, one of the main major bacteremia pathogens.

Today
Tomorrow with Weezion dx
Only critical cases are tested and diagnosed, and in general they are treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. They don't represent the majority of those infected. This means that a large number of patients do not have access to treatment at an early stage of their infection.
