The AMR ArkScore™
measures levels of antimicrobial resistance expressed in the detected organisms. Higher scores denote low resistance, in which case the antibiotic of choice can be given with less concern about adverse outcomes. A lower score indicates higher levels of resistance, limiting the antibiotic options available, increasing risk to the patient.

Antimicrobial Resistance
The ABX ArkScore™
provides important information to the prescriber about the specific antibiotic being recommended. The higher the score, the safer, more effective and less risk-associated with use of that antibiotic. The lower the score the more adverse events and risks to the patient associated with the antibiotic.

Antibiotic Drug
The AMS ArkScore™
provides a more complete picture to prescribers and caregivers by factoring both the AMR and ABX ArkScore™ into one combined score. This overall score takes into account resistance and what drug works best with the safest profile when limited options are available.
