The additional funds will be used to advance the development of the company's Next Generation Phenotyping technology through clinical trials.

The company's revenue was largely attributed to its Acuitas AMR Gene Panel and Acuitas Lighthouse informatics platform.

The Swedish firms plans to launch clinical performance studies in support of getting CE marking for its QuickMIC system.

OpGen also reported full-year growth was driven by revenue increases for its Acuitas AMR Gene Panel and Acuitas Lighthouse informatics platform.

The kits can detect more than 1,000 antimicrobial resistance gene variants, including mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) and extended-spectrum beta lactamases.  

BD will supply its diagnostics and informatics products as part of the contract with Fleming Fund to take on AMR in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Thermo Fisher will codevelop LC-MS workflows for infectious disease detection with NanoPin and will commercialize Q-linea's antibiotic susceptibility testing platform.

The funding will support up to 90 percent of development costs for the Klaris system, which purportedly performs phenotypic testing in four hours.

The seven-year grant renews funding for the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group, led by Duke University and UCSF, with $15 million in 2020.
