Priority 17 from the Healthcare Associated Infections PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: Can nanotechnology (that is working with very small particles) result in better treatments for infection? (Priority 17) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 17 |
| JLA question ID | 0088/17 |
| Explanatory note | Working with very small particles (nanotechnologies) may result in discovery of alternate treatments (to antibiotics) for infections. Decreased use of antibiotics may decrease antibiotic resistance. There is uncertainty in what technologies might be helpful. |
