Products
LabMastis S.A
A rapid, field-deployable diagnostic kit using phage-derived capture proteins for detection of Staphylococcus aureus in milk and environmental samples; designed for use by veterinarians and laboratories without specialized equipment.
Endolysin-based therapeutic candidate for canine pyoderma
A veterinary therapeutic in development that uses endolysin proteins to reduce bacterial load in skin infections and support lesion healing while preserving the native microbiome; currently in preclinical/early development.
