I remember hearing decades ago about how all of the anti-biotic overuse would result in bacteria becoming more and more resistant to anti-biotics.
This research sounds promising!
For researchers tackling deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the dragonfly wing revelation offers potential new methods of dealing with the problem. QUT researcher Dr. Chaturanga Bandara says: “We have been working to unlock the secret of how dragonfly wing nanostructures destroy bacteria, so that they could be actively mimicked to surfaces of next generation smart materials, especially for use in medical applications.
