MGB Biopharma is a biopharmaceutical company focussed on the development of a new class of antibiotic.
Its lead candidate, MGB-BP-3, is a potent bactericidal antibiotic with a completely novel mode of action for the treatment of Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI). CDI is a serious and often life-threatening infection of the large intestine and is the most frequent cause of diarrhoea in hospitals and care homes. In the US alone, there are almost half a million cases every year associated with around 30,000 deaths; three people die of uncontrolled CDI every hour.
