Ultrasound-activated nanoparticles wipe out biofilm infections in lab tests

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to break through and destroy bacterial biofilms. This offers a promising solution that could address the global crisis of chronic antibiotic-resistant infections affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The work is published in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance.
