New material killed 99% of the bacteria

The polymer coating was developed by Mary Chan, a professor of biotechnology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and colleagues who can kill 99% of bacteria and fungi on contact.

The mantle developed by Mary Chan is capable of destroying 99% of the pathogenic bacteria

Materials can be used for contact lenses or medical devices such as catheters without the use of disinfectants or antibiotics.

Under the microscope, the structure of the polymer coating is like a sponge. Positive charge on the surface of the mantle will attract bacteria like a magnet because the surface of the charged bacteria then breaks down the cells and destroys them without damaging the cells of the cell. people.

The coating has been successfully tested with Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a greenhouse gut, a corneal bacteria.

Nanyang University says Mary Chan's coating can prevent the spread of pathogenic bacteria in hospitals and stoves, which are considered hotspots of resistant bacteria.
