Breakthrough BLAST Patch Uses Gentle Electrical Pulses to Fight Skin Bacteria, Offering Hope for Infection Prevention

by

In a promising leap forward for infection control, scientists have developed a skin patch that could dramatically reduce bacterial infections through mild electric pulses. Dubbed the Bioelectronic Localized Antimicrobial Stimulation Therapy (BLAST) patch, this small device emits a gentle electrical current specifically targeting infection-prone bacteria on the skin. If these bacteria were to enter the … Read more

The probiotic that kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria

by

Infection with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus can cause many health problems, including sepsis. Certain strains of this bacterium are resistant to antibiotics, so they are particularly dangerous. However, researchers discover that a probiotic bacterium can destroy this superbug. Researchers are now investigating the potential of a probiotic bacterium in treating MRSA infections. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus … Read more

New means to fight ‘un-killable’ bacteria in healthcare settings

by

Scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have identified new means of fighting drug-tolerant bacteria, a growing global threat as menacing as drug-resistant microbes. Little is known about the mechanisms leading to tolerance, a strategy that makes bacteria “indifferent” to antibiotics and almost “un-killable,” which results in chronic infections extremely … Read more

Gut bacteria’s shocking secret: They produce electricity

by

While bacteria that produce electricity have been found in exotic environments like mines and the bottoms of lakes, scientists have missed a source closer to home: the human gut. University of California, Berkeley, scientists discovered that a common diarrhea-causing bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes, produces electricity using an entirely different technique from known electrogenic bacteria, and that … Read more

A paper battery powered by bacteria

by

In remote areas of the world or in regions with limited resources, everyday items like electrical outlets and batteries are luxuries. Health care workers in these areas often lack electricity to power diagnostic devices, and commercial batteries may be unavailable or too expensive. New power sources are needed that are low-cost and portable. Today, researchers … Read more
