NANOTECHNOLOGY

NANO-MEDICINE TREATMENT OF BACTERIA (MRSA).

OBJECTIVE
Develop a technique using polymer based nano-particles to dissolve infectious bacterias protective outer membrane so that they are unable to morph into more dangerous forms. This technique will bring an end to the use of antibiotics, which do cripple microbes, but also leave some bacteria which can then develop resistance making them even more dangerous. The polymer nano particles will not only destroy the bacteria, but when finished will biodegrade harmlessly into the body.

"The mechanism through which [these polymers] fight bacteria is very different from the way an antibiotic works," explains IBM polymer chemist Jim Hedrick. "They try to mimic what the immune system does: the polymer attaches to the bacteria's membrane and then facilitates destabilization of the membrane. It falls apart, everything falls out and there's little opportunity for it to develop resistance to these polymers."

Researchers have found that these polymers work using an electrostatic mechanism, they can be specifically targeted to wreak their helpful havoc only on the fungus infections and MRSA bugs. "The result is a highly efficient killing strategy that causes minimal damage or toxicity to surrounding healthy cells," says Yi Yan Yang of IBN.To be used therapeutically, the polymers are mixed with water, which is then heated to body temperature. At that point the polymers self-assemble into a hydrogel, which is easy to handle and apply to surfaces, and which can potentially be injectable and incorporated into creams.

FUTURE

"It is the first-ever [MRSA fighter] to be biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic," IBM says, "potentially making it an ideal tool to combat serious health hazards facing hospital workers, visitors and patients. This treatment can be made cost effective, and will have the capability of treating all other types of fungal infections in humans, in which over a billion people a year suffer from.

P.E.T WHAT IS IT?

It is what is used in the so called ninja polymers for treatment of M.R.S.A, and potentially all fungal and bacteria infections encountered in the human body. Simply put, P.E.T is recycled plastic water bottles, it is also used in the packaging of foods, and clothing.

It's a plastic resin and the most common type of polyester. Two monomersmodified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acidare combined to form the polymer called polyethylene terephthalate. PET was discovered and patented in England in 1941.
