Addressing increasingly resistant drugs by infectious agents

Drug Target Review

Infectious agent includes bacteria, virus, fungi, and parasites, and they are capable of causing disease in a living organism. I had earlier proposed the use of Palmatine and Silver Nitrate in the efficacy against the RNA structure of the COVID-19 virus. We discovered it is highly effective and environmentally friendly.
