How managing data effectively helps fight antimicrobial resistance

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 700,000 people worldwide die from drug-resistant infections each year. Hence, tackling antimicrobial resistance is vital for the pharmaceuticals industry, but managing drug discovery data can be challenging.

Discover how a team at Swiss pharmaceutical company, BioVersys, has used CDD Vault^®, a hosted biological and chemical database that allows researchers to securely manage private and external data, for their project targeting MRSA. BioVersys wanted to recapitulate its existing data structures and their relationships and add new ones as the project evolved. By doing so, they were able to view, side-by-side, data from in vitro potency assays, including full-dose response curves in different bacterial strains; absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters; chemical structures; and toxicity.
