Imagine wanting to use a phage against an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. The only thing standing in the way of that phage killing the bacteria and eradicating the infection might be the ...

A new study from Emory University addresses the growing global crisis of antibiotic-resistant infections. Many of these drug-resistant bacteria are spread through hospitals, and there are few ...

Studies have found that nearly a quarter of drugs that aren’t normally prescribed as antibiotics, such as medications used to treat cancer, diabetes and depression, can kill bacteria at doses ...

The team at Chalmers has solved this problem by developing an ultra-thin surface coated with graphene that can kill 99.99% of bacteria on contact. This coating could be applied to medical devices ...

They are developing a graphene-based, ultra-thin, antibacterial material that can be applied to any surface, including biomedical devices, surgical surfaces, and implants to exclude bacteria. Since ...

The result of which, is an ultra-thin acupuncture-like surface that can act as a coating on catheters and implants - killing 99.99 percent of all bacteria on a surface.
