BiomX Inc. is a clinical stage product discovery company developing products using both natural and engineered phage technologies designed to target and kill specific harmful bacteria associated with chronic diseases, such as diabetic foot infections, or DFI. Bacteriophage or phage are bacterial, species-specific, strain-limited viruses that infect, amplify and kill the target bacteria and are considered inert to mammalian cells. By utilizing proprietary combinations of naturally occurring phage and creating novel phage using synthetic biology, it develops phage-based therapies intended to address large-market diseases. The Company offers two phage-based product types: Fixed cocktail therapy and Personalized therapy. Its ongoing programs include BX011 and BX211. BX011 is a fixed multi-phage cocktail, for the treatment of DFI associated with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
