Developing nanoparticles to detect and kill multi-resistant pathogens – News-Medical.net

Multi-resistant pathogens are a serious and increasing problem in today’s medicine. Where antibiotics are ineffective, these bacteria can cause life-threatening infections. Researchers at Empa and ETH Zurich are currently developing nanoparticles that can be used to detect and kill multi-resistant pathogens that hide inside our body cells. The team published the study in the current issue of the journal Nanoscale.
In the arms race “mankind against bacteria”, bacteria are currently ahead of us. Our…
