Preventing infections at all times

Every day, 24 hours a day, invisible enemies, by inhalation or contact, attack our organism.

Viruses, bacteria, spores, dermatophagous mites, moulds, pollens: invisible enemies that put our immune defenses to the test and, when we are at our most vulnerable, get the better of our immune system. Bacteria are found everywhere, on/in people and animals, in food and in the environment (in water, soil and air). Without bacteria we could not live but under certain conditions they become pathogenic and transmit infections from person to person and sometimes from animal to person. And antimicrobial resistance has made them one of the greatest threats to our health. Normal cleaning practices succeed in removing visible dirt but have limited effectiveness over time on microbial proliferation. Biovitae’s frequencies, on the other hand, ensure continuous sanitisation and enable people to live in a healthier, cleaner environment.

Preventing infections against antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms to resist antimicrobial treatments. The most dangerous resistance is against antibiotics, the abuse and misuse of which have caused a global health crisis that will challenge public health for years to come. Through certain mutations, bacteria develop defence mechanisms and become increasingly resistant to common antibiotics on the market. Antibiotic resistance is considered the ‘greatest threat to modern medicine’.

Biovitae supports the fight against antibiotic resistance through its continuous sanitisation, which represents the most effective infection prevention tool. Based on current knowledge, it is impossible for the light of Biovitae to develop antimicrobial resistance: bacteria need the frequencies of the visible spectrum to live and are therefore unable to counteract the action of Biovitae, which causes irreversible damage that microbes are unable to repair.

Antibiotic resistance is a global challenge to be managed through infection prevention and education. Knowing the problem is a step towards consciously addressing it.

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to remain immune to the action of an antibiotic. It can be intrinsic, when the microorganism has never been sensitive to a particular antibiotic, or acquired, when bacterial strains that were previously sensitive to a particular antibiotic develop resistance to it.

The development of antibiotic resistance is a normal evolutionary process. In a bacterial colony, both sensitive bacteria and bacteria resistant to one or more antibiotics can coexist. When an antibiotic kills off the sensitive bacteria, those resistant to the drug that were previously in a ‘dormant’ state begin to multiply, creating resistant species of bacteria. Resistant bacteria can transmit resistance to any other microorganism that joins the colony.

Acquired resistance is possible thanks to the ability of bacteria to modify their genome, including by exchanging genes between different strains. Micro-organisms have several alternatives to avoid the lethal action of antibiotics:

  1. Production of enzymes that inactivate antibiotics
  2. Rapid elimination of the antibiotic
  3. Sealing of the bacterial wall to the antibiotic
  4. Alteration of the antibiotic’s target

Some very common behaviours make bacteria stronger and favour the development of resistance:

  1.  The incorrect use of antibiotics, even to treat infections on which they have no efficacy
  2.  Taking them without following the prescriptions, i.e. at doses other than necessary or for a period of time other than recommended
  3. The habit, not always justified, of administering antibiotics for preventive purposes.
  4. The massive administration of antibiotics for preventive purposes to animals, especially in intensive farming.
  5. The overuse of chemicals for sanitising enclosed spaces
