About INFECT

INFECT – an INterface For Empirical antimicrobial ChemoTherapy

The INFECT Project, initiated by the INFECT Association, aims to support healthcare professionals in treating patients with infectious diseases by providing intuitive access to combined data on local antimicrobial resistance, pathogens and antibiotics. INFECT AMR is a web application that imports anonymised patient susceptibility data, combines it with pathogen and antibiotics data, and shows it in a substance-by-organism matrix, which users can filter according to various parameters.

The INFECT AMR Processor, a distributed real-time in-memory analytics engine, manages the computational load. Users can filter data based on microbial, antimicrobial, or population attributes. Susceptibility is represented as a coloured circle, and pathogens with relevant susceptibility only at increased exposure and expected resistant or susceptible phenotypes are marked interactively.

The adaptable design of INFECT AMR permits adjustments to other data sources and the addition of supplementary modules. To broaden access and support antimicrobial stewardship in a multitude of settings, the INFECT Association has developed a web-based integrator platform, available at integration.infect.info, which allows institutions and organisations to incorporate a partial INFECT AMR resistance matrix as a predefined interactive widget in their web-based medical treatment guidelines or digital documents.

Planned and Upcoming Features

Detailed Resistance Data Including MIC Distribution

Benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of antimicrobial resistance patterns with our upcoming feature that includes detailed resistance data alongside MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) distribution. The MIC is a quantitative measure that represents the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent required to inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism in vitro. This metric helps healthcare professionals understand the susceptibility of a specific microorganism to different antimicrobial agents and aids in selecting appropriate treatments.

Guideline Module as a Widget

The forthcoming guideline module widget promises seamless integration of third party evidence-based antimicrobial treatment recommendations into existing platforms, starting with the INFECT 3.0 application. This user-friendly addition will facilitate quick access to crucial guideline information, streamlining workflows and improving patient care by ensuring that up-to-date treatment guidance is always within reach. Standardised APIs to the widget may also support antimicrobial stewardship automation in the future.
