The high cost and human toll of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)

Thermo Fisher Scientific
23 Sept 2025

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) pose a critical threat to global health, fueling healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), escalating treatment costs, and putting patient safety at risk. This white paper explores the human and economic burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), highlights high-risk pathogens such as MRSA and Acinetobacter baumannii, and examines the challenges of limited treatment options. Discover how advanced diagnostic tools, antimicrobial stewardship strategies, and innovative therapies are transforming the fight against MDROs to protect patients and strengthen healthcare systems worldwide.

Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
