Microbion is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company. Microbion is developing MBN-101 as the first product in the bismuth-thiol class for the treatment of resistant and difficult to treat infections. MBN-101 has broad spectrum, anti-bacterial efficacy against a broad range of pathogens, including multiple priority pathogens or “superbugs”. In addition to anti-bacterial efficacy, MBN-101 also has highly advantageous and product-differentiating capability to prevent and eradicate microbial biofilms. The dual action from this first in class product provides a novel clinical approach to treating infections. Their effectiveness against MRSA, MDR TB, CRE, VRE, and other antibiotic resistant pathogens highlights their potential to provide solutions to the dramatic and alarming increase in global antibiotic resistance.
