New anti-bacterial material
By using the most advanced technology, scientists from the University of Nottingham (UK) have discovered a new type of polymer that is resistant to clinging.

This new material can dramatically reduce infectious disease in hospitals and reduce the risk of medical devices.
The health sector will soon have devices that use more effective anti-bacterial materials - (photo: CBC).
Infections related to medical devices can lead to many system infections or device damage, which can be costly.
By influencing many widely used devices such as catheters and veins, for example, bacteria forming many communities are considered biofilms.
The strength of the 'crowded approach' is to protect them from the body's natural defense barriers as well as antibiotics.
UK experts have shown that when these new materials are attached to the surface of medical devices, they repel bacteria and prevent bacteria from forming biofilms, according to the Science Daily.
New materials prevent infection by preventing biofilm formation from the very beginning, when the first bacteria attach themselves to the device.
In the experiments, the team was able to reduce the number of bacteria to 96.7% and achieve high efficacy against bacterial adhesion in mouse models.
By preventing clotting, the body's immune system can kill these bacteria before they have time to form a biofilm.
Research results have been published in the latest issue of Nature Biotechnology.
