Haysaw, >>> your claim of 'advanced science' is misleading <<<



Before coming to that conclusion, you should check out the company. Polymedix has found a way around antibiotic resistance by mimicing 'the activity of human host-defense proteins (HDPs), the body’s natural defense against bacterial infections. HDPs kill bacteria by directly targeting bacterial membranes and disrupting them. Widespread resistance to this unique mechanism of action has not developed despite millions of years of evolution. With PMX-30063 designed to mimic HDPs, resistance is unlikely to evolve to this novel antibiotic, making PMX-30063 one potential solution to the growing problem of bacterial resistance' -


Check out the video describing the novel mechanism (link below, then scroll to bottom of their page for the video link) -
