AI model discovers powerful antibiotic that knocks down superbugs
Bacteria are increasingly developing ways of resisting antibiotics, putting the future of global public health under serious threat. Now, using artificial intelligence, researchers have discovered a powerful new antibiotic that kills some of the most dangerous superbugs in the … [Read more...] about AI model discovers powerful antibiotic that knocks down superbugs
Anti-microbial wrap repels everything it comes in contact with, including superbugs
As the world is facing a crisis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it’s essential that we develop novel technologies that help us eliminate this urgent global health problem. With that in mind, academics from McMaster University, Canada, have developed a revolutionary … [Read more...] about Anti-microbial wrap repels everything it comes in contact with, including superbugs
CBD could potentially be used as an antibiotic against drug-resistant bacteria
For as long as modern medicine has treated infections with antibiotics, it has been entangled in an arms race against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. And as scientists look for ways to stem the tide of global health problem, the authors of a new study have discovered a potential … [Read more...] about CBD could potentially be used as an antibiotic against drug-resistant bacteria
