Bacteriophage antimicrobials targeting livestock pathogens to replace antibiotics
Aparon is a biotechnology company developing bacteriophage-based technologies as novel antimicrobials for use in livestock production.
Its research focuses on identifying and formulating bacteriophage cocktails that selectively destroy bacterial pathogens in animals, offering an alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments.
The company's work addresses antimicrobial resistance in agricultural settings and is supported by Innovate UK and UKRI grant funding.
