Superior phages.
.
When comparing our technology to the antibiotic alternatives in the market, Nextbiotics phages perform significantly better than the alternatives.

New research covered on MNT (Medical News Today) has found that antibiotic resistance is now on the rise in farm animals, too — and the rates are increasing fast. This situation also contributes to the global antibiotic resistance crisis that affects humans.

At Nextbiotics, we are providing antibiotic-free phage via the feed – antibiotic alternatives that can help reduce human antibiotic resistance, mitigate food safety pathogens and other food-animal disease-causing organisms.

Phages are the ultimate biodegradable “smart bomb” because they can be programmed to destroy a single harmful bacterium without blowing up other, helpful strains that occur naturally in a person’s body, as antibiotics do.

The post-antibiotic era is here.
.
This is what we have been warning and scared about, this is what we are addressing at @nextbiotics.
The report shows an infection every 11 seconds and a death every 15 minutes on average from antibiotic-resistant infections.

Using viruses to target bacteria has been out of fashion in the U.S. since the advent of penicillin, but overuse of antibiotics is making phage therapy an attractive option again.

You can take steps to help protect from antibiotic-resistant foodborne illnesses.
.
- Take antibiotics only when needed.
- Follow simple food safety tips.
- Wash your hands after touching pets and other animals.

First book of the year 📚
Missing Microbes - How our abuse of antibiotics is fueling our modern plagues.

The author proposes #phages as a viable solution!

The CDC found that each year, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi cause at least an estimated 2,868,700 infections and 35,900 deaths in the U.S.

Nextbiotics is leveraging synthetic biology to develop antibiotic alternatives to address the antibiotic resistance crisis. We engineer bacteriophages - viruses that only infect bacteria.⁠
