In June 2018, ContraFect Corp. (CFRX) had multiple presentations at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Microbe 2018 on the company’s lead drug candidate CF-301 and the Gram-negative lysin ...
Scientists in New York have found that a protein called lysin extracted from bacteriophage could lead to life-saving medicine to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. The drugs have reached the ...
Precisio will use its proprietary AI/ML-guided Zeus ™-LysiThru™ platform technologies to discover engineered lysins with superior activity and specificity with funding support from the Gates ...
Humans are in a constant arms race with infectious bacteria. To kill these disease microbes, we develop powerful antibiotics; and in turn, the bacteria develop resistance against these drugs. So we ...
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bioharmony Therapeutics, Inc. (“Bioharmony”), a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel therapeutics for hard to treat bacterial infections, announced ...
Researchers have developed a strategy to identify new antimicrobial drugs with therapeutic promise from bacterial datasets, providing clues for discovering alternatives to traditional antibiotics.
Overuse of antibiotics is leading us towards a terrifying future where our best drugs simply don't work, and common medical procedures and illnesses could become as life-threatening as they were in ...
New method to customise lysins to specifically target unwanted bacteria while leaving others unharmed Lysins are enzymes that help break open the bacteria cells while treating infections, and have ...
