An innovative biotech SME developing plant-based enzyme treatments for antimicrobial resistant lung infections to improve health outcomes.

Inspira Pharmaceuticals Limited（Inspira）是一家英国生物技术中小企业。它正在开发一种新的候选药物来治疗呼吸道感染（RTI）中的细菌生物膜形成。肺部生物膜阻碍抗生素和人体免疫系统克服感染的能力。通常需要更高剂量的抗生素，这会导致抗生素耐药性（AMR）。目前还没有专门预防或减少生物膜的治疗方法，预计到2050年，AMR感染将成为全球死亡的主要原因。Inspira的创新候选药物将通过吸入给药，可能比抗生素更便宜，并且能够与其他疗法共同使用。

Inspira Pharmaceuticals Limited (Inspira) is a UK Biotechnology SME. It is developing a new drug candidate to treat bacterial biofilm formation in respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Lung biofilms hinder the ability of antibiotics and the body's immune system to overcome the infection. Higher doses of antibiotics are often required which leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). There are currently no treatments to specifically prevent or reduce biofilms and AMR infections are expected to be the leading cause of death globally by 2050\. Inspira's innovative drug candidate will be delivered by inhalation and is likely to be cheaper than antibiotics and able to be co-administered with other therapies.
