JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT Hiusetein - Dr. Nancy Millenbaugh, research chemist and principal investigator for the Craniofacial Health and Restorative Medicine Directorate at Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio, holds a plate which is used for testing samples of biofilms for research into the effectiveness of nanoparticle targeted laser therapy in improving the treatment of multi-drug resistant wound infections, especially for servicemembers with maxillofacial injuries from combat. Researchers are hoping to develop a nanoparticle laser therapy that can breakdown biofilms, which contain a protecting coating produced by bacteria that make infections in the wound resistant to antibiotic treatment.
