The data were presented in a poster at the 115th General Meeting of the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) in New Orleans, LA.)

Beta-lactam antibiotics are a mainstay in hospital infection administration. However, antibiotics have the potential to cause unintended harmful effects within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, counting disruption of the natural balance of the gut microbiome, leading to 1.1 million C. difficile infectionsi and 30,000 C. difficile-related deathsii in the United States each year. SYN-004 is the Company’s candidate therapy designed to degrade certain intravenous (IV) beta-lactam antibiotics within the GI tract and maintain the natural balance of the gut microbiome for the prevention of C. difficile infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and secondary antibiotic-resistant infections. SYN-004 is designed to protect the microbiome from two classes of beta-lactam antibiotics, penicillins and cephalosporins.

During ASM, the “Development of Therapeutic Agents that Protect the Colonic Microflora from Beta-Lactam Antibiotics for the Prevention of Clostridium difficile Infection” poster summarized the identification of a novel pipeline beta-lactamase, P2A, which has the ability to protect the gut microbiome from a third class of beta-lactam antibiotics, carbapenems. Adding P2A to the franchise platform expands Synthetic Biologics’ intellectual property claims to cover all three beta-lactam antibiotic classes, penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems.
