FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) highlights a new CDC report showing a 20% increase in infections from six antibiotic-resistant bacteria ('superbugs') in 2021 and 2022 compared to 2019. The CDC attributes this rise partly to COVID-19's impact on healthcare systems, longer hospital stays, and antibiotic overuse.

The report emphasizes the need for more effective infection prevention and control strategies. FendX, a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings, aims to contribute to reducing superbug spread. Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO of FendX, states that the company is dedicated to developing innovative high-touch surface protection solutions to combat superbug transmission and enhance safety.

FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) mette in evidenza un nuovo rapporto del CDC che mostra un aumento del 20% delle infezioni causate da sei batteri resistenti agli antibiotici ('superbatteri') nel 2021 e 2022 rispetto al 2019. Il CDC attribuisce questo aumento in parte all'impatto del COVID-19 sui sistemi sanitari, ai soggiorni più lunghi in ospedale e all'uso eccessivo di antibiotici.

Il rapporto sottolinea la necessità di strategie di prevenzione e controllo delle infezioni più efficaci. FendX, un'azienda di nanotecnologia che sviluppa rivestimenti protettivi per superfici, si propone di contribuire a ridurre la diffusione dei superbatteri. La Dr.ssa Carolyn Myers, CEO di FendX, afferma che l'azienda è dedicata allo sviluppo di soluzioni innovative per la protezione delle superfici a contatto frequente per combattere la trasmissione dei superbatteri e migliorare la sicurezza.

FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF)는 CDC의 새로운 보고서를 강조하며 2019년과 비교하여 2021년과 2022년 동안 여섯 가지 항생제 내성 박테리아('슈퍼박테리아') 감염이 20% 증가했다고 밝혔습니다. CDC는 이 증가의 일부를 COVID-19의 영향으로 인한 의료 시스템의 변화, 병원에 더 오래 입원하는 것, 항생제의 과도한 사용에 기인한다고 설명합니다.

이 보고서는 보다 효과적인 감염 예방 및 통제 전략의 필요성을 강조합니다. 나노기술 기업인 FendX는 표면 보호 코팅을 개발하고 있으며, 슈퍼박테리아의 확산을 줄이는 데 기여하는 것을 목표로 합니다. FendX의 CEO인 Carolyn Myers 박사는 회사가 슈퍼박테리아 전파를 방지하고 안전성을 높이기 위한 혁신적인 고접촉 표면 보호 솔루션을 개발하는 데 전념하고 있다고 말했습니다.

Oakville, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2024) - FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) (FSE: E8D) (the "Company" or "FendX"), a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings to reduce the spread of pathogens, highlights a new report from the Centre of Disease Control ("CDC") published on July 16, 2024 highlighting the increased incidence of infections caused by six antibiotic-resistant bacteria (commonly know as 'superbugs') and emphasized the need to invest in the prevention-focused public health initiatives that can effectively control their spread.

The new CDC report highlighted a combined 20% increase in infection rate from six difficult to treat superbugs in 2021 and 2022 compared to 2019. The CDC claims the rise in infection rates is likely due, in part, to the impact of COVID-19, which placed a significant strain on the healthcare system and employees, longer hospital stays and overuse of antibiotics.

Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO and President of FendX states, "This CDC report reinforces the difficulty of controlling infections rates caused by superbugs and that a focus on infection control and new innovations is needed. At FendX, we are dedicated to developing innovative high-touch surface protection product solutions to reduce the spread of superbugs." Dr. Myers continues, "Our goal is to actively contribute to the fight against superbug transmission and make peoples lives safer."
