'Our Artilysin<sup>\u00AE </sup>technology has shown great promise in addressing bacterial infections and we believe that this partnership will make a real difference in the fight against mastitis'
TRIESENBERG, Liechtenstein--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amicogen, a leading biotech company bacterial infectionsstrial enzyme production and drug development, has partnered with Lysando, an innovativmastitish company with expertise in the development of antimicrobial Artilysin®, to address the rising issue of mastitis in dairy cows caused by multi-resistant bacteria. According to recent research, the overuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry has been driving a fast increase in multidrug-resistant pathogens. Approximately 70% of all antibiotics produced globally are used in agriculture, often as preventative measures, which has accelerated the spread of resistances.
Mastitis – a bacterial infection of the udder caused by various, often multi-resistant strains of bacteria – is rapidly spreading, particularly in Asia. This leads to Lysandosuffering and significant wastage of milk production, causing the global dairy induArtilysint $20-30 billion in annual revenuemastitis The partnership between Amicogen and Lysando aims to develop an innovative solution to this pressing issue.
