Integrating Semiconductors with engineered endolysins to combat IUD-Related infections & Antibiotic Resistance 

Developing Tri- Model Antimicrobial Coating

Endolysin + ZnO Semiconductor + Probiotics

Tri-Component Hybrid Platform to Combat Biofilm Associated Infections Problem statement Biofilm formation on intrauterine devices (IUDs) poses a hidden yet serious health risk for women, leading to persistent infections that antibiotics often fail to eradicate. Overuse of antibiotics not only drives resistance but also disrupts the natural vaginal microbiota, leaving infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) unresolved. This results in increased healthcare costs, higher infertility risks, and a pressing need for antibiotic-free, biofilm-disrupting solutions to ensure IUD safety and efficacy.
