Dr. Nallathamby presented on his abiotic biomimicking antibacterial Nanoparticles, and how they were successfully tested against A. baumannii BA1605 S.aureus USA300, P.aeruginosa FRD1, K. pneumoniae, C.striatum, E. faecalis, and S. pyogenes. We saw little to no evolution of resistance at doses above the MIC. Additionally, we observed what looks like inflammation-free wound healing in mouse and rat models. The wound size stabilizes as soon as the formulation is …
