The company announced yesterday that it had been successful in eliminating as much as 90% of a range of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from a buffer solution in-vitro. The elimination of the bacteria was achieved by deploying a solitary designer monoclonal antibody that had been conjoined to a metallic nanoparticle. The nanoparticle, in turn, attached itself to the bacteria.
Once the bacteria had been separated, the combination of the nanoparticle-bacteria-antibody had been exposed to laser energy. It was a major new breakthrough for the company considering the fact that the types of antibiotic bacteria that it had managed to eliminate had the capability of causing serious diseases in human beings.
It should be noted that some of the diseases that may be caused by these types of bacteria include meningitis and curing sepsis among others. Hence, it may be said that it was a major new breakthrough for Halberd and could lead to a considerable long-term boost for the company.
During the course of the lab testing, it was found that the procedure deployed by the company could eliminate the bacteria types in a matter of 20 minutes. It may be a good time to keep an eye on the Halberd stock.
