Chronic pulmonary methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) has a high probability of recurrence following treatment with standard-of-care antibiotics and represents an area of unmet need associated with reduced life expectancy. We developed a lipoglycopeptide therapy customized for pulmonary delivery that not only demonstrates potent activity against planktonic MRSA, but also against protected colonies of MRSA both in biofilms and within cells, the latter of which have been linked to clinical antibiotic failure.
耐甲氧西林慢性肺病
金黄色葡萄球菌
(囊性纤维化(CF)中的慢性肺部耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)疾病在接受标准抗生素治疗后复发的可能性很高,这是一个与预期寿命缩短相关的未满足需求领域。我们开发了一种专为肺部给药而定制的脂聚糖肽疗法,它不仅对浮游的 MRSA 具有强效活性,而且还对生物膜和细胞内的 MRSA 受保护菌落具有强效活性,后者与临床抗生素失效有关。
