AmebaGone is fighting antimicrobial resistance with a novel technology.

We are harnessing the natural predatory behavior of Dicty amoebae to end the overuse of antibiotics and provide a safer way to control pathogenic microbes.

Our Team

Our Innovation

Antimicrobial resistance poses a serious challenge to modern medicine, especially in intractable infections where bacteria often persist in antimicrobial-resistant biofilms that conventional antibiotics can't penetrate. Our technology turns amoebae into a novel solution for treating harmful bacteria - even in resilient biofilms. By harnessing these natural predators and their evolved ability to hunt and consume microbes, we introduce a new tool to reduce antibiotic reliance and address the rising threat of drug-resistant infections.

The Antibiotic Crisis

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health. Each year, millions are affected by infections that no longer respond to treatment.

Our Mission

AmebaGone is to end the overuse of antibiotics to provide a safer way to control pathogenic microbes. Our technology harnesses the natural predatory behavior of Dicty amoebae to assist in wound treatment.
