Issues for Doctors

Concerns

This includes the ethical implications of using a new drug that has not been tested for long-term side effects on patients. In order to be able to use the enzymosomes to degrade bacterial biofilms in patients, there will be testing prior to application clinically but there may still be ethical considerations and differences between different medical practitioners willingness to administer a new drug to patients with little known long-term effects.

Potential Non-Researcher Response

A negative connotation amongst doctors and medical practitioners could lead to reduced willingness for patients to use the drug in addition to it not being administered to patients that could potentially benefit from the treatment.
