About:
Entasis Therapeutics is focused on finding ways to overcome multi-drug resistant bacteria. Due to their rapid growth and short lifespan, bacteria have evolved multiple mechanisms to overcome current antibiotics. To find effective novel molecules that overcome these resistance mechanisms Entasis is using a targeted approach since different bacteria have unique mechanisms of action. For example, Entasis recently completed their program against multidrug resistant Acinetobacter infections with their drug Sulbactam-Durlobactam, a combination of beta-lactam antibiotic and a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Entasis’ pipeline also includes Zoliflodacin, a novel oral antibiotic in Phase 3 clinical trials against uncomplicated gonorrhea.
