| Description | We developed a series of novel supermolecular compounds with significant bactericidal antimicrobial activity. |
| Exploitation Route | Patent has been submitted and further funding is being sought to extend project. |
| Sectors | Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
| Title | "Antimicrobial compounds" |
| Description | Development of a novel series of Naturally evolved bacterial strains have now been identified that are resistant to treatment with all known classes of antimicrobial agent currently marketed. In 2015 we discovered, developed and patented (18/07/2017) a novel class of Supramolecular Self-associating Antimicrobials (SSAs) which have the potential to initiate a step-change in antibiotic development. |
