Following on from our inclusion in Sky News report on the need for new antibiotics we thought we'd show you some of our venom in action. This plate was dosed with one of our snake venoms specifically chosen by our scientists. The bacteria growing in a lawn are Staphylococcus albus which are clearly killed in a dose responsive matter by the venom. Work carried out at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Venomtech is pleased to share with you our success in finding new venom peptides that kill bacteria in potentially novel ways. These are all found in our antibacterial T-VDA. This is currently a leading story on Sky News blueprint-to-tackle-scourge-of-drug-resistance showing a small snap shot of what we do and why it's important. We are fighting hard to bring these important tools needed to the people that need them to help mitigate the perceived threat of the antibiotic apocalypse. The tools you need to find novel mechanisms to fight antibiotic resistant bacteria are right here with a full hit to lead support service to get them to the patient ASAP. Contact us for more information.
