THE LAST CENTURY has seen major gains in healthcare, and in life expectancy. But there is no guarantee of continuing improvement; the rise and rise of antimicrobial resistance has emerged as one of the most serious threats to public health.
Resistance is increasing all over the world, among bacteria, fungi and viruses. We are approaching the end of the age of antibiotics, anti-fungals are not far behind and the anti-viral drugs have never been particularly effective. Prior to 190, disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens) were the most important cause of illness and death; unless we take account now, we will go back to those dark times.
Overuse, misuse and counterfeit drugs have brought us to this place, and future prospects are worrying indeed. Many surgeries, for example, cannot be done without effective antibiotics.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE has been my own field of activity/research for the last 15 years; and it is obvious that current remedies are no longer working well enough.
The Wordle shows a selection of the pathogens that cause so much illness and death.
A new and unique technology has been developed to counter a very wide range of these pathogens, within my own organisation; Qures Group Ltd, www.quresgroup.com).
We initially focused on human health but subsequently widened our approach to bring the new technology to bear on infection control in veterinary medicine and the sterilisation of specialised spaces such as hospital wards and operating theatres.
Current sterilization technology is so toxic that these spaces must be closed down. Our technology is so safe that hospital wards, theatres and other spaces can continue to operate as normal.
Other key developments are pending.
There is no limit to the areas in our everyday lives that are affected by pathogens or where these problems occur. Qures Group Ltd (pronounced as cures) now has technologies and equipment to deliver and achieve pathogen elimination in many, many application areas where Pathogen control is essential.
