This indication could be huge. How do you currently address knee and hip implant infections? Do you see any merit in testing "B" against active biofilm infections?

Hi "Biodoc", My daughter is a neurosurgical nurse and they use vanco powder as well. I wondered if "B" could be manufactured as a powder so I did some research on the use of "vanco" as a powder in open incisions/cavities during operations. I found I believe an Italian study (can't locate right now) that showed no statistical benefit when it came to infection rates. Kind of dashed my hopes for "B" being used for that purpose. I do remember the company we bought "B" from did have successful use of defensin mimetic technology on sutures (called Polycide). The potential uses of this platform are mind boggling...
