The University of Pittsburgh announced that Pitt innovators were issued 10 U.S. patents in April 2021.
Featured Patent: 10,980,811 “Reversal of Fosfomycin Resistance”
Muti-drug resistant bacteria are an urgent healthcare threat. Pitt innovator Nicolas Sluis-Cremer and colleagues have developed a compound that blocks the mechanism by which bacteria resist treatment by the antiobiotic fosfomycin, which is typically used to treat urinary tract and bladder infections. The compound, ANY1, when applied together with fosfomycin, restores its efficacy against so-called superbugs in control experiments, even at a low dose.
