Escherichia coli-focused Research-grade Drug Discovery Service

With the persistent concern for bacterial infections and the escalating resistance to antibiotics, the need for innovative, research-driven solutions for Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections has never been more pressing. Creative Biolabs provides a high-potential drug discovery service that is dedicated to tackling E. coli infections.

E. coli Summary

  • E. coli is a Gram-negative bacterium, that can survive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor environments, metabolizing a diverse range of substances. It uses mixed-acid fermentation in anaerobic conditions, producing a variety of acids and gases.
  • The harmless strains of E. coli can benefit the host by producing Vitamin K2, aiding digestion, and preventing the establishment of harmful bacteria within the intestine.
  • Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is the most frequent source of E. coli infections. It can lead to severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
  • Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a severe and sometimes fatal consequence that can result from certain types of E. coli infections. In addition, E. coli is the source of respiratory ailments, urinary tract infections, and other diseases.
  • E. coli strains are often used in scientific research, including genetic engineering and molecular biology, due to their simple genetics and ease of maintenance in the lab.

Dedication to Personalized Solutions

We understand that E. coli strains can significantly vary, leading to a broad spectrum of infections and severity; thus, we offer personalized solutions. Our team works closely with you to understand the specific needs of your project, employing a tailored approach to produce the most viable drug candidates.

Quality Assurance

All tests are conducted with stringent adherence to international standards and regulations, ensuring the utmost quality assurance. We prioritize your research needs and maintain the highest degree of integrity throughout the discovery process. Rest assured, all stages of our research-grade drug discovery service are transparent, and regular progress reports will keep you comprehensive of the project's status.

Our team of resourceful scientists and researchers have spent years studying the biology of E. coli bacteria and their interaction with human hosts. Utilizing this knowledge and coupling it with the latest technologies such as high-throughput screening, computational chemistry, structure-based drug design, and medicinal chemistry, Creative Biolabs can design, and develop research-grade efficacious drug candidates that can fight E. coli infections efficiently.
