University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Releases News of Successful NanoLogix Test
HUBBARD, Ohio --(Business Wire)--
NanoLogix Inc. (OTC: NNLX), an innovator in the accelerated detection,
identification and antibiotic sensitivity determination of live
bacteria, announces that final results of a 14 month study done by
researchers at UTHSC-Houston have been published in a recent online
edition of " " The results were also presented at the 33rd
annual Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine meeting last month in San
Francisco. Researchers tested 356 pregnant patients for Group B Strep
using NanoLogix BNF tests during the study, with NanoLogix test results
obtained in 6.5 hours as opposed to 48 hours with standard tests.
Jonathan Faro, MD, PhD, the chief researcher on the study and assistant
professor in the Department
of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at The
University of Texas Medical School at Houston, part of UTHealth, stated:
"We're very happy at UT to have the recent clinical study on GBS showing
positive results with the 6.5 hour test. Even more exciting, however, is
that we are now seeing results as fast as 30 minutes. This more rapid
test is based on a modification of the 6.5 hour test, and has the
potential to allow for antibiotic susceptibility testing in an amount of
time that would have previously been considered simply impossible. The
studies with GBS have been applied to other bacteria, and we are very
pleased to see similar results with gonorrhea, which has been implicated
last year as a multi-drug resistant pathogen. We are in the final stages
of formalizig the 30 minute test for GBS, and will continue to work on
additional applications for this assay."

transition of the Company from a primary focus on research and
development to one of marketing and production. There will be a
continued science emphasis upon water quality test development with the
US EPA and also product QA/QC. This new focus will also result in a
reallocation of resources with a heavy focus upon increased marketing on
