UAT Group Inc. Buys 10% Stake in Bacter Scientific, Inc.

By: OTC

 

Tampa, FL, March 19, 2021 – OTC PR WIRE – Umbra Applied Technologies Group, Inc (OTC Pink: UATG) announced today that it has purchased 10% of the Austin, Texas based medical company Bacter Scientfic, Inc.

Bacter Scientific is a medical device manufacturer specializing in the development of products that detect and prevent infection in clinical, commercial, industrial and residential environments. The rising number of incidences of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) following hospital admittance or receipt of treatment in other healthcare settings has seen demand for infection-related treatments increase. In U.S. hospitals alone, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) account for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 100,000 associated deaths each year. With the current CDC guidelines for prevention of HAIs, hospital acquired infections account for more than $30 billion in excess healthcare costs each year. The cost of these infections is estimated between $8,000 and $15,000 per patient. Valued in excess of $30 billion annually, the market has grown from a 2011 figure of $19 billion, at a CAGR of 9.5 percent.

Bacter Scientific has projected its first-year revenues in excess of $100M with a three-year evaluation in excess of $500M. UAT Group will deliver the $5M purchase price amortized over the next 24 months. The new addition to the public holding company is expected to assist UAT Group subsidiaries, UAT and The Dreaming Company, in supporting research and development currently underway in both companies.

The use of exploratory surgery and interventional procedures is also on the rise, increasing potential opportunities for infection. Furthermore, clinicians are noting rising resistance to antibiotics used to treat infections, compounding demand for effective and safe HAI treatments and technologies. In an attempt to combat the HAI epidemic, the CDC has implemented a multi-phase National Action Plan that is intended to span more than 10 years and involves dozens of agencies. The plan is primarily educational based with an emphasis on data collection. The Bacter Scientific line of products are intended to support the CDC effort and are focused on the three most problematic areas: Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) and Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI).

Chief Executive Officer, Alex Umbra commented, “As many know, we have a longstanding relationship with the team over at Bacter and it seemed only natural to have them join the Umbra family via a more definitive and long-term relationship. Their ability to deliver such advanced technology that fits in the palm of your hand within a compressed time period is impressive to say the very least. When I was approached to join the V-Tech project, I instantly understood the significance of bringing this product to market and did not hesitate to assist in any way that I could.”

The V-Tech technology is ready for commercial production and introduction into the market, with advances in second generation models currently under development. The next generation V-Tech will feature a slimmer design and is targeted to reduce the current units testing time from 9 minutes to an estimated 3.5 minutes.
