Anietocin: A Novel Antibiotic to Treat Drug Resistant Infections

Overview
The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is occurring worldwide, endangering the efficacy of antibiotics, which have transformed medicine and saved millions of lives. The antibiotic resistance crisis has bcen attributed to the misuse of these medications, as well as the lack of new drug development efforts. This disclosed invention presents a new strain of Pseudomon. spp. bacteria that produces antimicrobial compounds effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Technology
A previously unknown Pseudomonas strain has been identified and now named "Anieto", after the TAMU inventor Dr. Anieto. The bacterium produces a novel antibiotic compound, named "Anietoci, and has been tested against several bacteria, both Gram positive and Grarn negative, for growth inhibition and has so far been effective against all test bacterial species. While resistance to antibiotics is a growing global concern, this antibiotic offers the promise of alleviating the substantial health and economic burden on healthcare systems and population. Dr. Anieto strongly believes that pharmaceutical companies can utilize this bacterium and maximize its effectiveness to treat prevailing bacterial infections in patients. His team is currently improving the chemical extraction process of this novel antibiotic and understanding the metabolomics of the bacterium to addre. large scale manufacturing opportunities.

Advantages • No resistance to antibiotic observed by targeted bacterial species yet • Broad.spectrum antibiotic provides potential hunts

Applications • Treatment of antibiotic resistant microbial infections • Surgical and sterile environments • Point of care antibiotic prescription.

Stage Of Development: undergoing laboratory trials on several bacterial species while showing consistent results.

Patent Status: U.S. Patent Application in Preparation.

Igbo amàka I swear2 gad.

Call mé a tribalist but I don't care, igbo brothers may not be perfect in all areas,, but they always get some things right.

My Yoruba brothers will call it pride or hubris. But sensible people call it chuzpah, temerity, audacity, resourceful, smart, independent. .

If igbo ruled Nigeria like the hausa, Nigeria will be 20 times better than Dubai

I opened this thread just to confirm if he graduated from a Nigerian university. We are really among the world of talented humans but the bad government we have placed us under a curse.

Later, when issue of less concern comes up our good compatriots of nairaland will start giving us false hope of a better tomorrow which may not come.

If this young man never travelled out to study abroad would he had discovered that he had so much potential in himself?
