About Pherecydes Pharma

Founded in 2006, Pherecydes Pharma is a biotechnology company that develops treatments against resistant bacterial infections, responsible for many serious infections. The Company has developed an innovative approach, precision phage therapy, based on the use of phages, natural bacteria-killing viruses. Pherecydes Pharma is developing a portfolio of phages targeting 3 of the most resistant and dangerous bacteria, which alone account for more than two-thirds of hospital-acquired resistant infections: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The concept of precision phage therapy has been successfully applied to several dozen patients in the context of compassionate use, under the supervision of the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines. Headquartered in Nantes, Pherecydes Pharma has a team of around twenty experts from the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology sector, and academic research.
