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