ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M responded today to public accusations concerning its efforts to market BacLite, a product it acquired from Acolyte Biomedica Limited (“Acolyte”) in 2007. According to 3M, the technology, originally developed to help detect the harmful bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was not commercially viable and, therefore, the company discontinued efforts to sell it in 2008.
