Resistant microbes are rising issue that arose with our aggresive fight against them. Aggressive antimicrobials and antibiotics created selective pressure, but microbes answered us with crating resistance. They adapted to such extent that some diseases that were curable even a decade ago are now uncurable. Modern approach thus requires modern solutions with careful combination of solutions that nature presents, which do not leave behind resistant bacteria.

Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages or simply phages are viruses that are attacking bactera only. They surpass any living creature by number and are estimated to 10 31. Phages are known for approx. 90 years but have caught spotlight in only last few years.
They have a speciality thet they attack only a bacterial species and do not harm others so they act with surgical precision.
In this segment we are focused for solutions for agronomical and food sector and cann offer you 'phage hunting', selection, up- and downstream processing of phages for final product.
Natural antimicrobials
In million years of evolution bacteria adapted to environment and vice versa. Especially plants created a wide variety of antimicrobial compounds as part of their immune response. They have been known for thousands of years in so called folk medicine, nowadays they can be extracted, determined and quatified for their effect. They often have broader antimicrobial effect and if they are acceptable for consumption they can be used in food industry.
