Showing phage-based medicine development services at CPHI Worldwide Milan

Gdansk, Poland: – Specialist bacteriophage CRO Phage Consultants (PC) will return to Europe’s leading pharma expo, CPHI Worldwide, this time in Milan.

PC will be represented at the Fiera Milano by its CEO and founder, Dr. Marcin Łoś, one of the world’s leading authorities in bacteriophage science. He will take advantage of the huge event’s many networking opportunities to promote the company’s advanced contamination control services.

Specialized services

Dr. Łoś will also be able to discuss the valuable therapeutic roles of bacteriophage science in speeding development of innovative medicines.

“CPHI Worldwide in Frankfurt and Milan provides one of our most important opportunities of the year to re-connect with current clients and to promote our diverse phage-based services among prospective ones,” said Marcin Łoś.

Innovative medicine development

“I expect that once again there will be plenty of interest in the expertise we can provide is specialized expertise in areas such as prophage detection, swab samples, and virulent phage testing – and now also in innovative medicine development.”

“As potent natural anti-bacterial agents, phage therapy is gaining attention in both human and veterinary medicine as a promising alternative to antibiotics, particularly for bacterial infections that now resist conventional treatments in combating MRSA or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for instance,” he added.

Phages also have applications for controlling bacterial diseases in crops, such as targeting harmful bacteria like Salmonella and Escherichia coli.

About Phage Consultants

Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection, characterization and production, but also prevention and eradication from laboratories and production facilities.

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, phages are the most numerous organisms in the biosphere and played an important role in understanding fundamental molecular biology for example horizontal gene transfer. Bacteriophages have different possible life cycles – lytic and lysogenic cycles – along with physical environment. In biotechnology, their activity can be devastating when bacterial cultures get infected. They can cause long-lasting recurrent infections which prevent successful production and in the past some facilities have been forced to close down due to their activities.

Founded in Gdansk, Poland, in 2007, PC has become a world leader in using the power of bacteriophage technology in bioprocess infection and contamination control and assisting companies whose production is based on microbial activities in preventing bacteriophage contamination.

Phage Consultants is also a team specialist in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise in phage activity in bioprocesses. The team provides unique assistance to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, offering a range of services from personal training to consulting and process optimization in phage growth limitation. The company also advises and assists clients in the development of new production facilities.
