Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for the treatment of Gram-positive bacteria infection and inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria growth. The compositions comprise a peptide nucleic acid linked to a cell-penetrating peptide (PNA-CPP). The PNA-CPP conjugate and compositions inhibit expression of bacterial proteins and are optionally administered in the form of nanoparticle compositions and antimicrobial fabrics.

Abstract: Disclosed are antisense molecules and compositions for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection. The antisense molecules and compositions comprise nucleic acid molecules, such as RNA, DNA, or nucleic acid molecules with modified backbones, such as PNA. The antisense molecules and compositions inhibit gene expression in Staphylococcus aureus; are optionally conjugated to cell penetration molecules such as peptides; and are optionally administered in the form of a nanoparticle composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to rapidly adaptable nanotherapeutics. The therapeutics are nucleic acid molecules, such as, RNA, DNA, or modified-DNA. The nucleic acid therapeutics are preferably administered as a nanoparticle composition, further containing one or more synthetic polymers. The therapeutics are rapidly adaptable because the identification and design of the polynucleotide sequence containing the therapeutic sequence is based upon rapid computer-implemented bioinformatics and nucleic acid synthesis protocols. The rapid adaptable protocols differ from traditional methods of antibiotic and antipathogenic drug development, which are slow and do not address drug resistance issues. Furthermore, the invention encompasses a facility with dedicated apparatus for practicing the invention in military theater or where emerging pathogenic threats are located. This facility may be mobile and transportable as a dedicated unit.
