Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Destroyed by Nanotech Layer

Researchers in Australia have created a new nanotech coating that can destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistant fungal strains. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have resulted in the birth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 700,000 deaths occur each year as a result of drug-resistant diseases. However, bacteria are not the only species to have developed resistance; many fungi, viruses, and parasites have also stopped responding to common treatments. This emergence of drug-resistant pathogens is called Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Click to read the full article...
