About ATA

qPCR is Powerful—but Underutilized.

Most labs stop at detection. Most providers don’t have time to interpret. The result? Delayed treatment, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and a growing resistance problem.

ATA provides real-time, clinical interpretation of qPCR results—so the right antibiotic is prescribed, faster.

We support diagnostic labs, physician offices, and long-term care facilities by delivering precise, evidence-based guidance for targeted therapy. Our pharmacists and infectious disease experts work directly with clinical teams to help reduce resistance, improve patient outcomes, and support stewardship efforts, without disrupting existing workflows.

Who We Support

We work with healthcare leaders who value precision and accountability:

Independent & Regional Labs

Differentiate your offering by pairing diagnostic results with timely prescribing guidance.

POLs (Physician Office Labs)

Get expert support for interpreting complex panels without hiring additional staff.

Healthcare Management Groups

Bundle lab interpretation with your service model to increase provider satisfaction.

Long-Term Care Operators

Reduce hospitalizations and antibiotic misuse with faster, more accurate treatment decisions.

Laboratory Panel Consults

Arrange organisms to benefit the physician.

Mobile and Nursing Networks

Ensure your clinicians are equipped with clear, evidence-based recommendations in the field.

Our Mission

To advance clinical care and slow the spread of antibiotic resistance by turning molecular diagnostics into actionable prescribing decisions.

We don’t run tests. We don’t sell panels. We interpret data accurately, consistently, and on time.

Our Values

Precision

Every recommendation is backed by pharmacology, resistance patterns, and current evidence.

Integrity

We don’t guess. We don’t speculate. We only recommend when the data supports it.

Clarity

Providers don’t need more data—they need clear next steps. That’s what we provide.

Stewardship

We support institutions that are serious about targeted therapy and responsible prescribing.

Collaboration

We act as an extension of your team, helping you deliver better care without increasing overhead.

Meet the Team

ATA was founded on June 15, 2018, with a clear mission: to deliver better antibiotic guidance through molecular data interpretation.

From a small, focused team, we’ve grown into a network of 20+ PharmDs and reviewed over 1 million reports—all grounded in clinical rigor and service excellence.

We’re proud to introduce the pharmacists setting a new standard in molecular infectious disease care.
