All over the world the problem of intrahospital infections and their prevention causes big interest of scientists. Earlier almost the only way of treatment of the given diseases was antibacterial therapy. The Russian researchers have conducted a number of experiments during which they have created the substance possessing strong antimicrobial and anti-virus activity. Actually, this substance has already been known for a long time, as well as its fabulous antiseptic properties. This is silver.

However the problem was in that that this salutary metal could not be transported directly to the center of an infection. Nanotechnology has allowed scientists to create the convenient container for silver with biopolymer of the Siberian larch as the basis. This compound has well ability to penetrate inside cells, stimulates factors of immune protection and has antibacterial properties not worse than at traditional antibiotics.

For the time being the invention passes a stage of additional tests, but already today scientists can speak about new therapy opportunities of some diseases by means of the substances with minimal spectrum of side-effects.
