Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) stands as one of the most significant challenges in patient care, representing a leading cause of morbidity among hospitalized patients. This formidable infection not only contributes to extended hospital stays but also leads to increased healthcare costs and a greater burden on healthcare systems. Companies like TAXIS Pharmaceuticals have the potential to transform outcomes for patients battling this condition.

As we navigate the complexities of modern medicine, a quiet threat remains: multi-drug resistant gonorrhea (MDRSG, commonly referred to as Super Gonorrhea), a rapidly spreading, deadly, and highly resistant strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Super gonorrhea is a prime example of how bacteria can outsmart our best defenses. At TAXIS, we are diving headfirst into the science of combating antimicrobial AMR.

TAXIS Pharmaceuticals Chief Scientific Officer Ajit Parhi, PhD, discusses dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors as a novel approach to combat resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a rapidly spreading, deadly, and highly resistant strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

TAXIS Pharmaceuticals has named two industry professionals with extensive biopharma experience, Joeseph DePinto, MBA, and Frank Carlo Pasqualone, MBA, to its Board of Directors.

TAXIS has received a $2.9 million grant to further advance R&D efforts for its dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors (DHFRIs) as a novel approach to combat multi-drug resistant gonorrhea, a rapidly spreading deadly and highly resistant strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Understanding the mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance reveals the pressing need for innovative solutions in the pharmaceutical landscape. Presenting TAXIS Pharmaceuticals' Commitment to Innovation: TXA709. TAXIS is dedicated to developing novel therapies that specifically target resistant strains of bacteria.

Our new white paper delves into the global scope of AMR, shedding light on its widespread impact and the variability of its effects across different regions. The paper outlines actionable strategies to combat AMR, such as enhancing global surveillance systems, advocating for responsible antibiotic use, investing in the development of innovative treatments, and fostering international collaboration.

The prospective bill, the Pasteur Act, is one potential strategy to help in these areas, and incentivize pharmaceutical companies to develop these essential therapies. This article was originally published on contagionlive.com.
