Feb 7 (Reuters) - Swiss biotech Bioversys AG BIOV.S
shares started trading at 36.5 Swiss francs ($40.29) on the SIX
Swiss Exchange on Friday, slightly up from the final price for
its initial public offering (IPO) of 36 Swiss francs per share.
BioVersys, which researches and develops novel antibacterial
products for serious life-threatening infections caused by
multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, will use most of its
proceeds from the IPO towards the development of its BV100
treatment for infections linked to ventilator-associated
pneumonia and bloodstream infections.
