Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB

Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB (IBT) is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing drugs that prevent diseases in premature infants and combat the spread of antibiotic-resistant illnesses. IBT's primary focus is on IBP-9414, a drug candidate containing Lactobacillus reuteri, a bacterial strain found in breast milk. The aim of IBP-9414 is to reduce the occurrence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and improve sustained feeding tolerance (SFT) in premature infants. Currently, IBP-9414 is undergoing a pivotal Phase III study for registration. IBT also has other drug candidates, including IBP-1016 for treating gastroschisis, IBP-1118 for preventing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and IBP-1122 for eliminating vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) causing hospital acquired infections. By developing these drugs, IBT addresses medical needs that lack available treatments.
