multi-drug resistant infectious microorganisms or “Super Bugs.” Pyro’s
focus is on diseases in which antibiotic resistance has become a
significant issue. Pyro’s plan is to develop a new class of antibiotics
for a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms, especially those that
have exhibited multiple drug resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a
growing public health concern worldwide. According to the Center for
Disease Control (“CDC”), antibiotic drug resistance has significantly
increased mortality rates, making infectious disease the third largest
cause of death in the United States. Drug resistance has also increased
the cost of health care delivery. Examples of the types of bacteria that
have become resistant to antibiotics include the species that cause skin
infections, meningitis, sexually transmitted diseases, respiratory tract
infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, and multi-drug resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
