Infections are a major medical problem that is challenged by resistance to antibiotics. This results in increased danger for patients and also higher treatment costs.

This invention introduces a mechanism for using nanoparticles(inorganic composition) which can destroy bacteria over an extended period of time (biocide characteristics). This is analternative solution for infections that require long-termtreatment and can be combined with surgical intervention.

• Nanoparticle anti-microbials are faster to synthesize than antibiotics

• Significantly higher efficacy with a wide range of bacteria

• In cases of osteomyelitis this method is effective against bacterial homing inside of bone cells without causing harm to the cells

• Disinfecting the outside of the body

• Prophylactic applications

• Clinical hygiene
