C Diff Drug Development

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ("Acurx" or the "Company"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, announced today that new microbiome data from its Phase 2a clinical trial for C. difficile Infection (CDI) will be presented at the 9th Annual International C. diff Conference & Health Expo. taking place virtually on November 4-5, 2021.

LAS VEGAS — CP101, an investigational microbiome therapeutic, restored microbiome diversity and prompted a sustained clinical cure among patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, according to a presentation. “Recurrent C. difficile infection is common following standard of care antibiotics and remains a significant burden on the health care system. Treatment

EnteroBiotix, a Scottish biopharma focused on making gut microbiome therapies, said construction of its new manufacturing, lab and office facility has been completed.

A new study presented at ACG 2021 shows microbiome therapeutic CP101 effective in preventing recurrent CDI by increasing intestinal microbiome diversity.

Approximately 88% of patients treated with SER-109 achieved a sustained clinical response at 8 weeks.

Clostridioides difficile is an antibiotic-resistant bacterium that causes serious, toxin-mediated enteric disease in humans and animals. Gut dysbiosis and resultant alterations in the intestinal bile acid profile play an important role in the pathogenesis of C. difficile infection (CDI). Restoration of the gut microbiota and re-establishment of bacterial bile acid metabolism using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been established as a promising strategy against this disease, although this method has several limitations. Thus, a more defined and precise microbiota-based approach using bacteria that biotransform primary bile acids into secondary bile acids could effectively overcome these limitations and control CDI. Therefore, a screening pipeline was developed to isolate bile acid converting bacteria from fecal samples. Dogs were selected as a model CDI-resistant microbiota donor for this pipeline, which yielded a novel Peptacetobacter hiranonis strain that possesses unique anti- C. difficile properties, and both bile acid deconjugation and 7-α dehydroxylating activities to perform bile acid conversion. The screening pipeline included a set of in vitro tests along with a precision in vivo gut colonization and bile acid conversion test using altered Schadler flora (ASF) colonized mice. In addition, this pipeline also provided essential information on the growth requirements for screening and cultivating the candidate bacterium, its survival in a CDI predisposing environment, and potential pathogenicity. The model pipeline documented here yielded multiple bile acid converting bacteria, including a P. hiranonis isolate with unique anti- C. difficile biotherapeutic potential, which can be further tested in subsequent preclinical and human clinical trials. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

A University of California, Irvine-led study suggests that the glucosyltransferase domain (GTD) is an ideal molecular target for therapeutic interventions for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). These findings may lead to new treatments to fight this deadly disease.

Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, is most often thought of as a disease acquired in healthcare facilities, but researchers find that shoe bottoms tell another story of transmission in communities.

Vedanta thinks its live biotherapeutic sourced from clonal cell banking could offer strong prevention against C. difficile infections after antibiotics have cleared an initial infection.
