About ART24

ART24 is an orally administered, naturally occurring, pure bacterial strain which was discovered by Artugen Therapeutics in collaboration with APC Microbiome Ireland. ART24 represents a novel class of direct-acting live biotherapeutics that shows attractive properties in pre-clinical studies. As the characterization of the human microbiome and its link to human health have become better understood, the clinical application of therapeutic bacteria represents potential new means of addressing unmet needs for a range of human diseases. ART24, with its multi- modal mechanisms of action in addressing C. difficile infection and pathogenesis, was granted Fast Track designation for its evaluation in this indication by the FDA.
