This grant, offered by the Synthetic Hemo-technologIEs to Locate and Disinfect (SHIELD) program, is for developing innovative prophylactic countermeasures against bloodborne pathogens and bloodstream infections (BSI) associated with combat wounds. Current interventions, such as traditional antibiotics and antifungals, are often limited by toxicity, ineffectiveness, or delayed administration. The purpose of this funding is to create safe, effective, and broad-spectrum prophylaxes that protect recipients from a wide range of bloodborne bacteria and fungi, which are responsible for most BSI. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to prevent these critical infections for up to 144 hours, significantly enhancing patient outcomes in high-risk scenarios.

| Description: | The Synthetic Hemo-technologIEs to Locate and Disinfect (SHIELD) program will develop safe and effective prophylactic countermeasures to defeat bloodborne pathogens and prevent bloodstream infections (BSI) associated with combat wounds. The program will develop prophylactic countermeasures effective against both bacteria and fungi, pathogens that are responsible for the vast majority of BSI. State-of-the-art countermeasures to manage BSI include antifungals and antibiotics which can be toxic, ineffective, and be administered in an untimely manner. SHIELD will develop safe and effective broad-spectrum prophylaxes that will protect recipients from bloodborne bacteria and fungi and prevent BSI for up to 144 h. |
