A Microbiome Sparing, Organism-Specific Therapy for C. difficile Infection
University of Arizona researchers have developed a water-soluble nanocarrier that is non-toxic to both human tissue and to bacteria. The carrier can complex with oligonucleotides that can bind to bacterial mRNA, preventing translation and inhibiting various bacterial functions.
Background:
The carrier can complex with translation-inhibiting modified...
