Abstract:
Through recent decades, the highest use of antibiotics within agriculture, animal food, treatment, has led to the prevalent development of antimicrobial resistance in our community. An increasingly popular alternative to antibiotics is bacteriophages to control bacterial diseases, and also recent research has shown the capability of Hydrophilic Nanoparticles that kill Bacteria while sparing mammalian cells revealing the antibiotic role of Nanostructures. The unique bactericidal Properties of bacteriophage makes them an ideal alternative to antibiotics, as many countries begin to restrict the usage of antibiotics in agriculture and certain other product. In this webinar, we will be discussing the possible ways to concentrate in order to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance, which is the problem threatening the current peace of our health. The benefits and challenges of phage therapy reveal the potential for phages to control bacterial populations, and also the mode of action for nanoparticles as a possible replacement for antibiotics.
