OUR TECHNOLOGY
Bacteriophages (Phages):
Bacteriophages are naturally occurring viruses that only kill selected bacteria. We might call them the Good Viruses (similar to the concept of good bacteria in probiotics).
-
Naturally occurring phages only kill a specific range of bacteria.
-
Phages are all around us: on our hands, our eyelids, animal intestines, in the soil, but they don't hurt us.
-
Phages are safe because they are ONLY able to infect bacterial cells, not human or animal cells.
-
Phages can help protect animals from bacteria.
Mode of Action of Bacteriophages
Lytic phages are more effective as they cause lysis of targeted bacteria
Introduction to our Peptide Technology
Peptides produced by bacteria are classified as bacteriocins
-
Bacteriocins act as the innate bacterial immune system.
-
Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria produce many types of bacteriocins, which give bacteriocin-producing bacteria the ability to inhibit the growth of susceptible bacteria.
-
InnovaPeptide are small biological kationic molecules (<10 kDa) with a specific net charge, hydrophobicity, secondary structure causing cell membrane disruption providing a broad spectrum of activity against selected bacteria.
-
Two mode of actions-first is reduction and second is immunological regulation. For load reduction, membrane targeting mechanism of action as well as receptor-mediated mechanism and target cell wall perforation allow them to interact with many receptors minimalizing the microbe resistance.
-
Unique formula of InnovaPeptide enables a stop to the degradation of peptide structure in the digestive system and act.
