Funded Activity Summary

Our preliminary studies have shown that a group of patients who suffer from chronic inflammatory disease and have bacterial biofilm identified on their mucosa have worse outcomes even after surgery. We have shown that they lack certain small protein and sugar molecules on their respiratory lining. We aim to use this technology as a diagnostic tool to aid the doctor in prescribing the appropriate treatment for these patients to prevent bacteria regrowing in their respiratory tract.
