Melinta is an antibiotics company with four marketed products in the for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), Vabomere for complicated urinary tract infections and Minocin IV for several serious infections (see pages 2-3 for details). Additional candidates are also in development for several indications (see Exhibit 1).
