Bacterial Pneumonia – Pipeline Review, 2019

Bacterial pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs due to the bacterial infection caused by bacteria Streptococcus Pneumoniae. According to the American Lung Association, symptoms of bacterial pneumonia include chest pain, shortness of breath, a cough that may produce yellow or green mucus, fever, chills, and tiredness. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Service, approximately 1 million people are detected with pneumonia every year.

Antibiotics like amoxicillin, erythromycin, doxycycline, and sulfamethoxazole are used to treat all types of pneumonia. Recently, in March 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a dosage with a combination of avibactam and ceftazidime for the treatment of the ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

Research institutes and pharmaceutical companies are constantly focusing on studying and developing new options for the treatment or prevention of pneumonia. For instance; AR-301, which is being studied by Aridis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is currently in phase-3 clinical trials for the study of adjunctive treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in combination with standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy in patients with S. Aureus infection.
