CBI offers a range of infection modeling services for the purposes of identification of novel anti-infective agents, particularly MRSA, vancomycin-resistant staph, fungi and gram positive organisms. In addition to standard infection models, CBI offers customized and unique infection models. We also provide toxicity, safety, in vitro, and pharmacokinetic (including perilymph) studies to support development of anti-infectives. We offer unique routes of administration including intracerebral, intracolonic, intravesicular, intraocular, intraotic, dermal, and intraosseus.
