Description
The University of Notre Dame will conduct a study to test innovative antibacterial nanoparticles with phage-mimicking properties (PhANPs) against combat relevant multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa, bacterial pathogen to cause hard to treat and even deadly infections in service members after battlefield injuries. There is a need to bring novel therapeutics to the military health care to treat MDR P. aeruginosa. The collaborative partner of this study is the University of Notre Dame, the patent owner of a unique technology (phage-mimicking nanoparticles) that provides life-saving therapeutics for service members and civilians. This technology was awarded a patent in 2024 - US-12161725-B2. Government anticipates that the collaborative efforts will contribute to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of this innovative therapy, leading to reduced morbidity and mortality rates, enhanced operational readiness, advanced combat medicine, and substantial contributions to broader biosecurity initiatives and civilian health improvements.
