Antibiotics are widely used to treat bacterial infections, but overusing them has led to bacteria becoming resistant. To address this problem we've been working on developing anti bacteria metallic nanocomposites which make a tougher bacteria to develop resistance mechanisms. The advantage of this protocol is that it is a low cost and easy method for making geo copper nanocomposites compared to other protocols.
This makes it practical for large scale production which is great for commercial use. Also, our method doesn't need extra disinfectants or capping agents making it an option for biomedical applications. Our group is focused on the developing bio comparable metallic nanocomposites for infection treatment.
Therefore we are working on coding these nanocomposites onto surfaces or using them to deliver drugs aiming to effectively eradicate antibody resistant bacteria and their biofilms in real world infection scenarios.
