Absynth is developing vaccines and antibodies to prevent and treat bacterial infections with a distinctive technology platform for identifying proprietary antigens that harness the immune system more effectively than other antigens, to stimulate a host protective response. Antimicrobial resistance constitutes a serious danger to public health, which has been acknowledged by the USA Centers for Diseases Control & Prevention and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Bacterial vaccines have the potential to reduce community reliance on antibiotics and there is evidence that vaccines can contribute to decreased antibiotic usage. 

Absynth has used its technology platform to establish a vaccine pipeline targeting pathogens for substantial markets, in which no marketed vaccines exist. The most advanced vaccine programme targets Staphylococcus aureus, while pipeline vaccine programmes target Clostridium difficile and Streptococcus pyogenes. The Company also has a S. aureus antibody programme in preclinical research. The Company’s approach has the potential to overcome previous limitations through its novel antigens, as well as its innovative approach to using in vivo models and correlates of infection for candidate optimization and selection. Six patent families are filed from which eleven patents have granted.
