NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

[JG36]

You are proposing a bacteriacide that would operate in much the way that penicillin does. That would have the virtue of being specific to bacteria, and might indeed be a plausible way to proceed. But again you have to design a micelle that can disrupt those cross links, you can't expect it to happen by accident. We aren't even at square one in that project. So it's certainly not something anybody should count on at this point. IF NNVC finally brings some antivirals to market, and starts bringing in big money, I have no doubt that they will eventually start funding research projects to devise ways to attack bacteria. But I suspect that a bacteriacide, even in a lab setting, is probably a good 10 years away.
