Press Releases

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (NYSE MKT: APHB), a global leader in the development of therapies for antibiotic-resistant infections using bacteriophage technology, announces that data from its investigational bacteriophage programs, AB-SA01 targeting Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections and AB-PA01 targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) infections, are featured in presentations at two scientific conferences:

“AmpliPhi and our partners have produced promising clinical and nonclinical data demonstrating AmpliPhi’s phage cocktails are safe and active against a broad footprint of isolates, including those that are multidrug-resistant,” said M. Scott Salka, CEO of AmpliPhi Biosciences. “We are delighted these results are being shared with the scientific community.”

About Bacteriophages

Bacteriophages, or more simply “phages,” are the natural predators of bacteria and are the most abundant life form on earth. Over eons, phages have evolved an incredible diversity of specialist strains that typically prey upon just one strain of bacteria, enabling phage therapies to precisely target pathogenic bacteria while sparing the beneficial microbiota. Phages can infect and kill bacteria, whether they are antibiotic-resistant or not, and even when they have formed protective biofilms.

About AmpliPhi Biosciences

AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation is a biotechnology company pioneering the development and commercialization of therapies for antibiotic-resistant infections using bacteriophage-based technology. AmpliPhi’s product development programs target infections that are often resistant to some or all existing antibiotic treatments. AmpliPhi has reported final results from two Phase 1 clinical trials of AB-SA01, one for the treatment of S. aureus in CRS patients and one to evaluate the safety of AB-SA01 when administered topically to the intact skin of healthy adults. AmpliPhi is also developing bacteriophage therapeutics targeting P. aeruginosa and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) in collaboration with a number of leading research organizations.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about the potential use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections, including infections that do not respond to antibiotics, the potential benefits of phage therapy, including the ability to resensitize drug-resistant bacteria to antibiotics to which the bacteria were initially resistant, and AmpliPhi’s development of bacteriophage-based therapies. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “goal,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements necessarily contain these identifying words.
