DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
The producers of The Economic Report, are pleased to announce that Kane
Biotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KNE) will be featured in an upcoming episode
on Emerging Developments in Biofilm Technologies as part of the show's
Medical Minutes series. This episode will air nationally on Fox Business
News and regionally on both CNN & Regional News Networks.
Scientists are finding that one of the ways microbes make us sick is by
arranging themselves in very sophisticated communities called biofilms.
Bacteria in biofilms like to stick together to everything from our teeth
to surgically implanted medical devices. Up to 80 percent of human
bacterial infections may involve biofilms and the cost of treating them
reaches billions of dollars a year in the United States alone. The
problem is that once they have formed, bacteria in biofilms become
extremely difficult to treat.
"Once in a biofilm, bacteria can be several orders of magnitude more
resistant to antibiotics than their planktonic (free-floating)
counterparts," says Dr. Srinivasa Madhyashta, Chief Scientific Officer
for Kane Biotech Inc. "Whatever the mechanism of drug resistance,
bacteria in biofilms often outlive treatment. A method of long-term
prevention of biofilm formation that acts at the level of the bioflim
formation is needed."
Kane Biotech is a leader in research and development of technologies and
products that prevent and remove bacterial biofilms. Its growing
portfolio is based upon leading research and relationships with prominent
academic institutions. The company is developing products that address
human health issues, including hospital acquired infections related to
medical devices, chronic wound healing and novel treatments in the
prevention of tooth decay.
The five-minute segment will be filmed on location at the Center for
Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University. It will include
interviews with the Center's director as well as officials from Kane
Biotech Inc.
