The AMR Problem

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health challenge as infections are increasingly difficult to treat due to resistant bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a World Health Organization priority pathogen associated with severe hospital-acquired infections and high levels of resistance. There is a global unmet need to improve the way we treat bacterial infections, which we address with our first-in-class non-antibiotic approach.

VEIRULENCE DISARMS BACTERIA

Virulence factors are the weapon systems bacteria use to cause disease. Our small molecule specifically targets swarming, a key virulence factor of P. aeruginosa. This approach not only prevents an infection from taking hold but works synergistically with antibiotics to enhance their efficacy.
