Technology

Microscopic view of a biological structure, possibly a cell with internal components.

Reactive Oxygen® species (RO) has been specifically designed to tackle antimicrobial resistance and is a major breakthrough in chronic wound management.

RO generates hydrogen peroxide, an antimicrobial with multiple modes of action. Pathogenic species are overwhelmed by its multiple modes of action and thus cannot find a pathway to antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial

On 27 February 2017, the World Health Organization published its first-ever list of antibiotic-resistant “priority pathogens” – a catalogue of 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health.

Matoke’s Reactive Oxygen® is active against all these pathogens.

Most notably Reactive Oxygen® is active against Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, the newly discovered New Delhi resistant strains (NDM) of the common gut organisms, and the continuing challenge of MRSA. This was demonstrated through different laboratories, including UK Health Security Agency.
