We are talking about antibacterial drugs based on levonadifloxacin with a broad spectrum of action representing new chemical compounds (HCCs) for the treatment of various bacterial infections, as well as skin and skin structures, including foot infections in diabetes and concomitant bacteremia.
According to the company, the drugs will target such superbugs as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is the main reason for the growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
"Due to the broad spectrum of action against common pathogens, including MRSA, higher safety compared to currently available anti-MRSA drugs, I believe that these drugs have great potential to effectively meet the medical needs of healthcare professionals, thereby helping to reduce complications and mortality.",
