Bacteria are adapting to antibiotics, and it’s becoming a serious public health threat. A considerable part of the reason is that the bacteria continue to pass resistance genes to each other. Thankfully, scientists at Rice University developed a system that uses graphene-oxide wrapped nanoparticles to kill the bugs and their...
