Ondine Biomedical Inc news
A research team in Zurich, Switzerland has presented results from an in vitro study showing that photodisinfection achieved >99.99% eradication (4-7 log10 kill) of the key pathogens in biofilms associated with implantable joint infections, with no reported regrowth. These results were presented at the recent Swiss Society for Microbiology (SSM) Annual Congress 2022 in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Canadian life sciences company, Ondine Biomedical Inc. (LON: OBI), this week presented an in vitro study at the World Anti-Microbial Resistance Congress, in Maryland, USA on the effectiveness of its photodisinfection technology against the group of highly infectious and antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as ESKAPE pathogens.
Results show a single, 5-minute treatment of nasal photodisinfection significantly reduces Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of surgical site infections, in pre-surgical patients
- Top line results met primary endpoint and showed nasal photodisinfection eliminated or significantly decreased Staphylococcus aureus ( aureus) </
- The Toronto-based research reports a decrease of viral infectivity of 90% of SARS-CoV-2 patient samples using Ondine’s nasal antimicrobial photodynamic disinfection (aPDT), with 70% of patient samples completely inactivated from a single 5-minute treatment.
- The nose is the primary location for SARS-CoV-2 entry and it has a central role in transmission and disease severity.
The Journal of Nature / Scientific Reports has published a paper from the Sunnybro
Ondine Biomedical Inc. (LON: OBI), has recruited the final patient to its nasal photodisinfection exploratory Phase 2 trial. The trial is evaluating how effectively Ondine’s nasal photodisinfection technology eradicates pathogens – specifically Staphylococcus aureus – in the nose.</
Clínica Universidad de Navarra has completed a randomised controlled study of Ondine Biomedical’s nasal photodisinfection technology in fully vaccinated COVID-19 patients with early symptoms of COVID-19.
“Top-line results from this clinical trial suggest that nasal photodisinfection treatment rapidly and substantially suppresses SARS-CoV-2 viral replication and infectivity in the nasal cavity of already-vaccinated individuals. This trial confirms the early work
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi
- Ondine’s nonantibiotic photodisinfection technology has been proven in Canadian hospitals to kill pathogens helping to generate 84% reduction of postoperative infection rates and significant cost savings.
