<p>Thanks for your answers.<br /><br />I have other question. I revised an abstract as follows. Can you please check it and send it to me as SOON as you see my message?<br /><br />Also I have a long document to submit online&nbsp;to you late this week...<br /><br />Abstract:</p>

<p>&nbsp;<strong>Title</strong>: Assessment of antibacterial effect of nanomaterials for removing superbugs in water</p>
<p>&nbsp;<strong>Abstract</strong>: The use of nanomaterials, in particular metal oxide nanoparticles (MNPs), is expected to continue growing tremendously for various products manufactured for both industrial purposes and consumer uses. Applications of nanomaterials include, but not limited to medicine, water treatment, disinfection, energy, agriculture, and even in food. Water scarcity is well known global issue, and even more the presence of drug resistant bacteria, which are ineffective with medical treatment positions, challenges globally. Recently concerns regarding antibacterial resistant bacteria even present in drinking water across the US have been raised and currently there is no single solution to either prevent or completely remove. There must be development of technologies and its assessment suitable for removal of superbugs present in water. In response to the emergency related to our environment and public health, the proposed research will investigate the efficacy of applying nanotechnology, in particular antibacterial effect of metal oxide nanoparticles for removing antibiotic resistant bacteria present in water. The project aims to 1) evaluate and assess the antibacterial effect of metal oxide nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub>, ZnO) on bacterial cells (<em>E. coli</em>, <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </em>and <em>Pseudomonas Putida</em>), 2) examine correlation of interfacial mechanisms between MNP-bacterial cells, and 3) develop strategies to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria present in water. This research will enable to develop strategies for treating drug resistant bacteria and design treatment processes that remove and prevent the presence of superbugs in water. This transformative research is not only timely, but also critical in protecting public health and the environment in response to the global emergency by applying nanotechnology.</p>
