The invention relates to a hybrid protein molecule comprising at least two parts capable of inhibiting the activity of at least one antibiotic in order to reduce the intestinal side effects, such as severe diarrhea, and nosocomial infections secondary to parenteral antibiotic therapy.

"We are greatly encouraged by the publication of the patent application for AZX1101 and would like to commend the hard work of our scientists," said Thijs Spoor, CEO of AzurRx BioPharma.  "We believe that AZX1101, a non-systemic protein, can preserve healthy gastrointestinal flora by inhibiting antibiotics in the GI tract and thus prevent the development of antibiotic induced diarrhea and bacterial infections.  We think the drug has particular application in its potential to greatly reduce the number of C. difficile infections."   

About AZX1101, a Recombinant Beta Lactamase

AZX1101, a recombinant beta lactamase, is in development for the prevention of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections by resistant bacterial strains induced by parenteral administration of β-lactam antibiotics. It is an oral, non-systemic medicine that will act locally in the GI tract and inhibit the activity of antibiotics that harm gastrointestinal flora.

Hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections have a huge economic impact on society and are a major public health concern contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and cost. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2016) has estimated that roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections (i.e. ~5% of the number of hospitalized patients), cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year in the USA, with the annual cost ranging from US $4.5 to $11 billion).
