Using Nanoparticles to Combat Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria

[@robertstovall7195]

They spend billions in fancy laboratories and I make nanoparticle silver in my kitchen in an hour and a half.😂😝😂😝😂😝

[@robertstovall7195]

For about $1.50/Gallon🤣🤣🤣🤣

Colloidal (nano) silver exists and can't be patented. The bigger problem is biofilms that work together to resist traditional antibiotics. Colloidal (nano) silver works but can't be patented. Therefore, they act like it doesn't exist or gaslight you and say it doesn't work. We don't have a healthcare system. We have a wealth care system😢

It depends what you mean by that. Ingesting it won't really do much of anything. That said, silver has already been widely used in medicine such as in burn dressings, but its use has been slowly winding down due to concerns like its tendency to permanently stain skin. And because the universe won't let us have nice things, we've also started to see the rise of silver resistance plasmids in bacteria. The good news though is that copper is vastly more potent in this role anyway. The bad news is that bacteria can evolve and swap copper resistance plasmids also. We've seen them already.

100%.

[@kofoworolashakioye]

This is very enlightening. I understand research is still ongoing, however, what type of nanoparticles are being worked with, hybrid nanoparticles or metal oxide nanoparticles?

[@Ggggerr44500tyuuu]

hi my friend i have a research about nanoparticles antibiotics so if you have free time to message you please tell me because i have some questions

[@festusogungbemiro]

I'm also interested in this!

[@kshitijrawat6670]

I AM INTERESTED IN A TALK TOO

[@chemist291]

Mine too.. ..same research

[@pradyumnarahul]

My mother is fighting a lung infection that is antibiotic resistant. I want to be able to do something useful - how can I contribute to this research? I'm very familiar with Machine Learning itself - but very limited understanding of the antibiotics and bacteria behaviour space.

[@ellenlynch8978]

Incredible work you all are doing---thank you!

[@williamsturley6631]

If Michigan doesn't do it who will? The enormous opportunity for such intense research collaboration only exists at very few institutions. As the students say, "It's great, to be, a Michigan Wolverine."

When you have mucus have more whole salt. Not the stuff that has been cooked.

[@amrutvani2]

Still in the pipeline . Will take years for using them

[@dissaid]

Cool...😎😎😎

[@SuzanaMantovaniCerqueira]

haha!

[@PetraKann]

Irresponsible research that can be weaponised.

[@JimTheguy-q1d]

All research can be weaponized. That's no good reason to not do the research. Blacksmiths invented the knife to cut food, are they to blame for OJ simpson? Give me a break.
