Dunedin-based biotechnology firm BLIS Technologies has announced a deal with
food giant Nestle to develop natural antibiotics to beat middle-ear
infections for use in infant formula.

NZX-listed BLIS Technologies will work with Nestle to research and develop
probiotics - naturally occurring bacteria with "built in" defences against
disease causing bacteria - to protect against upper respiratory tract
infections common in infants.

Under the agreement Nestle will fund BLIS research for the development of
probiotics suitable to use in infant formula up to the clinical trial phase.
Nestle will then take responsibility for clinical studies.
