BANGALORE, DELAWARE CITY and ADELAIDE, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    Bugworks Research Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is set 
to present its latest research findings on the novel bacterial topoisomerase 
inhibitor, BWC0977 at the upcoming 33rd European Congress of Clinical 
Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

    The eight posters highlight data from the microbiological and efficacy 
studies of the clinical candidate, BWC0977 that exhibits broad-spectrum 
activity against a globally, diverse panel of Gram-positive, Gram-negative and 
biothreat pathogens.  Additionally, data from a range of studies, including in 
vitro biochemical assays, in vitro resistance frequency studies, minimum 
inhibitory concentration (MIC90) data against multi-drug resistant clinical 
isolates from around the world, and in vivo efficacy data in mice and rat 
models of infection will be presented.

    These studies were conducted in collaboration with scientists at the Walter 
Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Bethesda, USA, University of 
Liverpool, United Kingdom, University of Texas Medical Branch, USA, 
International Health Management Associates (IHMA), USA and TheraIndx 
Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd., India.   

    "ECCMID 2023 is a globally renowned platform in Infectious Diseases R&D 
arena, and we are proud to have the opportunity to showcase the pre-clinical 
highlights of our drug candidate BWC0977; a first-of-its-kind in over six 
decades that has the potential to treat an entire gamut of infections caused by 
hard-to-treat Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial pathogens," says Dr.
