  • Patent number: 12225906
    Abstract: The sustenance of life is driven by recognition of and access to energy sources. This process has remained unchanged over billions of years, guiding cellular nutrition through molecular recognition, akin to the food pyramid. At the atomic or nanoscale, chemotaxis enables organisms to identify ingestible matter and is driven by their need for fuel, rather than from the sustenance itself. Chemotaxis, one of nature's most potent yet invisible organic forces, operates independently of molecular charge dynamics to locate and identify microscopic sustenance. Infectious organisms, such as pathogenic microbes and parasites, depend on chemotactic pathways to locate nutrition across all scales. This invention leverages this phenomenon by “baiting” these pathways with nutritive matter that encapsulates biocidal agents that are harmless to humans but lethal to infectious organisms once ingested.
