Phages point the way to novel targets for antimicrobial drug discovery

ill bacteria in the same manner as the phage-derived inhibitory proteins.

"By taking advantage of what we have learned from nature, we have developed a technology platform that should enable PhageTech to play an important role in the battle against increasing antibiotic resistance worldwide," said Dr. Wu.

He noted that PhageTech researchers will further define the spectrum of antimicrobial activity for various compounds identified in this manner, as well as evaluate their efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. The company is now preparing to evaluate its antimicrobial drug candidates in animals.
