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.

I sure u no read wetin I type. Shey Abalaka na roadside chemist?Abi u be olodo ni? For science, no be social media go announce and be ur reference for scientific breakthrough especially one wey never get clinical and regulatory seal.

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

The decision to name the drug, ironically cannot even rest with him. That will rest with the drug companies. But you do you.

Newboss:
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.

If he is from cross river is still good, do you have a problem with that

Anieto is an Igbo name.
Ani = Earth.
Anieto = The earth praises.

The cross river name you may be referring to is Aniete.

Newbreed2018:
Everywhere UmuIgbo keep breaking grounds.

Igbos are truly blessed.

Igbo Amaka!!!

To the consternation of the Headies
The ishawuru people, pepper people, hydraulic soup, dirty and smelly...Aaaaah! Omo Ibo??

BloomingDale:
Yorubas are also doing great, if not more.

Antivirus92:
keep it to yourself. Nobody asked you or u can better still celebrate yourselves!

Phut:
Anieto is an Igbo name. Ani= Earth. Anieto = The earth praises.

Sebastine1994:
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
