Establishing sepsis diagnostic InfectID TM as the new standard of care BRISBANE, Australia , Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Microbio Ltd, the Australian pathogen diagnostics company specialising in innovative molecular diagnostic solutions, has today announced the appointment of Paul Perreault as a strategic advisor. Mr Perreault is the former CEO of CSL and considered a pre-eminent global biotech leader. He was Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of CSL Limited from 2013 to 2023, leading the organisation to become the fifth largest biotechnology company in the world bringing lifesaving medicines to people in more than 100 countries. Microbio is commercialising InfectIDTM BSI (Bloodstream Infection) as the new gold standard in the diagnosis of sepsis. InfectIDTM-BSI is currently CE-marked cleared for sale in Europe , United Kingdom , and India , with an advanced regulatory program underway for FDA and TGA approval pathing the way for a global market expansion in the coming years. The InfectIDTM-BSI diagnostic test delivers actionable intelligence to clinicians, enabling them to deliver targeted antimicrobial treatment - improving patient outcomes and reducing the emergence of antimicrobial resistant organisms. The assay detects 26 pathogens associated with more than 94% of sepsis cases in less than 3 hours. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body's reaction to a bloodstream infection. The only effective treatment is the prompt administration of antimicrobials to eliminate the pathogen causing the infection. For every hour of delay in administering appropriate antimicrobial treatment, mortality rates increase by 7.6% 1 , underscoring the urgent need for rapid diagnosis. The current 'gold standard' method involves a slow, multi-step blood culturing and identification process. This approach takes 11 hours-21 hours for bacterial species and 48 hours for Candida species and has limited sensitivity. Microbio's InfectIDTM is therefore considered a game changer in improving patient outcomes of sepsis through earlier detection. This latest appointment bolsters Microbio's executive team and advisors in supporting the rapid commercialisation and expanded market access for InfectIDTM. With over 40 years' experience in the global healthcare industry, Mr Perreault has held senior leadership roles with CSL, Wyeth, Centeon, Aventis Bioservices and Aventis Behring . He previously served on the board of directors for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), Wall Street Journal's CEO Council, Penn State Provost's Global Advisory Council, and the Global Board for the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association. Commenting on his appointment Mr Perreault said: "Microbio is an exciting biotechnology company on the cusp of positively disrupting the devastating impact of sepsis on patients with a diagnostic test that can more rapidly detect the majority of pathogens responsible for sepsis, which supports much earlier clinical intervention and treatment to ultimately safe lives and improve patient outcomes. I'm pleased to be working with a company at the forefront of innovation in this critical area of healthcare." Microbio's Chief Executive Offer Mr Colin Keating said: " We have a growing number of clinical, and key opinion leaders working with us to bring InfectID TM to market as our clinical data continues to support the profound benefits of our diagnostic of sepsis. We welcome Paul to our advisory board and the opportunity to draw upon his exceptional leadership and capabilities in supporting our ongoing global expansion."

● St. Katharine Drexel Catholic High School teacher Cynthia Bettio has received Esri Canada’s Making a Difference Award. ● Esri Canada provides geographic information system (GIS) mapping tools used by municipalities like Stouffville to analyze and display geographic data. ● Bettio was recognized for an urban planning project where students created land-use plans for hypothetical Stouffville development sites. ● Students presented their concepts, which utilized Esri’s GIS software, to Stouffville’s Council in June. ● Bettio emphasizes connecting coursework to real-world and local issues to foster critical thinking and deeper understanding in students. Cynthia Bettio, head of Canadian and World Studies at St. Katharine Drexel Catholic High School (SKD), received Esri Canada’s Making a Difference Award for innovative use of GIS technology in education. Esri Canada provides geographic information system mapping and analytics solutions to more than 14,000 organizations. GIS enables data analysis and allows for the geographic display of information. Municipalities such as Stouffville use Esri’s services for a variety of purposes, including public-facing tools like the Town’s Development Activity Map. The award recognizes individuals and organizations that use Esri’s ArcGIS tools “to make a positive impact on their communities,” according to a recent Esri Canada press release. Bettio was honoured for her role in a multi-class urban planning project that utilized the company’s software during the 2023-2024 school year. After months of study, 24 SKD students presented Town Council with land-use plans for three hypothetical Stouffville development sites. Their work included collaboration with Town Staff, and final renderings and virtual tours were showcased to Councillors and the public during a packed June 2024 meeting. Their concepts were informed by investigation into surrounding land uses and focused on housing, parkland, and community amenities. Climate change mitigation strategies and renewable energy sources were also considered and implemented within their designs. “By incorporating Esri’s cloud-based mapping and analysis software...into her geography and history classes, Ms. Bettio transforms abstract subjects into dynamic, hands-on learning experiences,” the press release detailed. “She engages students with projects that integrate real-world data and local history, encouraging them to think critically, tackle complex problems, and make meaningful connections between their coursework and the world around them.” Bettio was also recognized for her efforts in a Grade 10 Advanced Placement Canadian History class project that tracked the evolution of various Richmond Hill parcels over more than a century. Students presented their final deliverables to the Richmond Hill Historical Association in 2023 using GIS tools. “If we want kids to care about the subjects that they are learning, we have to be able to show them where they connect to them,” Bettio said. “If we focus on local issues that are relevant to students’ lives, we can ask them to step back and examine the bigger picture with greater depth and understanding.”The strengthening of the Renminbi has had far-reaching implications for the global economy, particularly in the context of international trade and investment. A stronger RMB makes Chinese export goods more expensive for foreign buyers, potentially impacting China's export competitiveness. However, it also makes imports cheaper for Chinese consumers, which could stimulate domestic demand and support economic growth.

The contending Avalanche have the fourth-worst goals-against average by team in the NHL. They had made another goalie move on Nov. 30, acquiring backup goaltender Scott Wedgewood from the Nashville Predators for backup Justus Annunen. The Avalanche also get forward Givani Smith and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick in the deal with San Jose. Forward Nikolai Kovalenko, a conditional 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 second-rounder head to the Sharks. Goergiev had a 4.62 goals-against average in October, and though he improved in November, he was pulled in a Dec. 3 start after giving up four goals on 12 shots. Colorado rallied to win that game. Blackwood, meanwhile, made 49 saves in his last start. He has a .904 save percentage compared to .874 for Georgiev, who rebounded with a win in his last start. The Avalanche have a powerful offense but their early goaltending woes have cost them in the standings . The 2022 Stanley Cup champions entered the week in the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Both goalies will be unrestricted free agents at season's end. The rebuilding Sharks have prospect Yaroslav Askarov waiting in the pipeline after acquiring him in the offseason.
