SINOFRESH TO STUDY ANTIBACTERIAL BENEFITS OF NASAL CLEANSING SPRAY IN HORSES

SinoFresh HealthCare, Inc. today announced that it will embark on a program to study the ability of its nasal spray, SinoFresh™ Nasal Mist, to protect horses against colonization with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. Scott Weese, DVM, of the Department of Clinical Studies at the, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, will direct the studies in collaboration with SinoFresh. These studies follow positive results of previously reported in vitro experiments showing efficacy against MRSA.

MRSA derives its name from its resistance to common antibiotics. It is a major concern for human infection in hospitals and long-term care facilities where elderly and immunocompromised patients are especially susceptible. MRSA is also a critical issue with veterinarians and animal breeders where overuse of antibiotics can lead to disease. MRSA colonization frequently occurs in the mucous membranes of the nose.

“MRSA has emerged as an important problem in animals, particularly horses and dogs. Our main concerns are the potential for animals to develop serious diseases, and the possibility of animal-to-human transmission,” explained Dr. Weese. “We’re excited to work with SinoFresh, and the potential of its nasal spray to address MRSA in animals without facilitating further resistance.”

“With concern over antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus rising among researchers worldwide, we are encouraged by this higher level of scientific evaluation,” stated Charles Fust, Chairman and CEO of SinoFresh. “We have long held the notion that our innovative research efforts, spanning more than eight years, hold great promise in this particular arena.” Click to know more on MRSA
