Antibiotic resistance is developed when bacteria, in response to antibiotics, evolve and become immune to medicine. This leads to harder-to-treat infections. [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/antibiotic-resistance\">1<\/a>] According to the World Health Organization, antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels all over the world (insert ref.).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Antibiotic resistance leads to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs and increased mortality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To illustrate the problem, Harvard Medical School demonstrate through their video from 2016 just how quickly bacteria become resistant to higher doses of antibiotics. The &#8220;Mega-Plate&#8221; Petri Dish is built up by barriers of lighter antibiotic concentration by the sides and stronger concentrations towards the middle. The video shows the evolutional race of baceria. As time lapses, new bacterial strains break\u00a0 through stronger and stronger antibiotic barriers; antibiotic resistance in a nutshell.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/plVk4NVIUh8\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At Bonalive we look at new principles that go beyond the mechanisms of antibiotics, that is where our promise of Smart Healing\u2122 is rooted.

The result is Bonalive\u00ae granules, currently the only biomaterial with an official claim to inhibit bacterial growth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Something more about alternative medicine against AMR&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Bonalive we aim to advance the world\u2019s transition to sustainable solutions for infections, reach out to us to learn more.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Lucchesi,<\/p>\n<p>Director, Discovery and Innovation<\/p>\n<p>Bonalive Biomaterials<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"\/en?page_id=78#product-overview\">Bonalive\u00ae granules<\/a> is a CE marked Class III medical device, providing a Smart Healing\u2122 solution for bone infections and bone reconstruction.
