DESCRIPTION
The emergence of multi-drug resistance bacteria and healthcare-associated infections are frequent issues in the treatment of suppurating wounds. A group of researchers has created a bactericidal nanomaterial that can be used against either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. This allows the material to target specific bacteria and successfully fight bacterial diseases.
