Fantastic. That's a great breakthrough in medical science. Hopefully more Nigerians will discover more.

Thank you Dr.

Good, but for now, it isn't a proven cure until it passes a phase 3 trial, meaning it can work well in clinical settings.

Once it does, we can really congratulate him. Also, even at that, I am happy someone is doing work on novel antibiotics. Most of the antibiotics we use now were developed a long time ago, and resistance is a problem

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.


Thank God this one didn't carry drugs

Can someone post a link to a verified article
It is only Nigerian blogs showing up on Google

Antibiotic for drug resistant infections is an oxymoron

Infections become resistant to antibiotics because or rapid evolution / natural selection brought about by abuse of antibiotics and not completijg your dose

Eventually all infections will become resistant to antibiotics, even this one if our use of antibiotics is not disciplined.

This is especially true for Nigeria where we throw antibiotics at everything without blinking

For the tribal chestbeaters you are not doing your kinsman any favors by making him trend on something that is not ready for prime time.

You can pull that nonsense in naija. In obodo oyibo you will end up making him look like a quack attention seeker

WTF is this?

The drug you're talking about is not even a thing yet. It's still being worked on. If you know how many drugs have been developed on paper by Nigerians, you'll chill.

What sort of fuckery is this? Is it inferiority complex or what? Calm down, that shît is not on Google, only on Nigerian blogs.

Nice one .. we pray it live the test of time because most of the antibiotics in existence were produced out of necessities.. bacteria resistance to a particular drug develop over time due to over use, misuse and under dose.. the resistance is due to bacteria mutation, producing different Gene from which the initial antibiotic were developed against.. thing that exist to trouble mankind (bacteria).. it has come to stay

Whenever it's IGBOs turn, everyone would want us to keep our differences aside.
They would want to throw things open.
But when it's not Igbo, they would want to narrow things down to Quota system!
