Antibiotic resistance is a global problem that threatens not only our ability to treat infections caused by bacteria, but also our economy. As we steadily exhaust effective antibiotics, preventing the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in environments is critical to continue our ability to use existing antibiotics. Polyamyna Nanotech Inc., a Canadian company, has developed a novel antimicrobial (AM) nanotechnology (patent pending) that has shown superior antimicrobial property against multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria. Currently used antimicrobials suffer from selecting for resistant bacteria. We will evaluate antimicrobial compounds being developed by Polyamyna Nanotech Inc. for their ability to select resistant bacteria, uncover the underlying resistance mechanism(s) and optimize the technology accordingly. This work will therefore result in the development of an antimicrobial spray that will prevent the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria and will not select for resistant bacteria.

抗生素耐药性是一个全球性问题，不仅威胁到我们治疗细菌感染的能力，也威胁到我们的经济。随着我们逐渐耗尽有效的抗生素，防止抗生素耐药性细菌在环境中的传播对于继续使用现有抗生素至关重要。Polyamyna Nanotech Inc.一家加拿大公司，已经开发出一种新的抗微生物（AM）纳米技术（正在申请专利），该技术已经显示出对多种抗生素耐药细菌的上级抗微生物特性。目前使用的抗微生物剂存在选择耐药细菌的问题。我们将评估Polyamyna Nanotech Inc.正在开发的抗菌化合物。他们选择耐药细菌的能力，揭示潜在的耐药机制，并相应地优化技术。因此，这项工作将导致开发一种抗菌喷雾剂，该喷雾剂将防止抗生素耐药细菌的传播，并且不会选择耐药细菌。
