Smart wound dressing delivers antibiotics on-demand, accelerating healing and reducing resistance

2026-03-23T11:19:00+00:00

Biomedical engineers have developed a new wound dressing material that releases antibiotic drugs only when harmful bacteria are present in a wound. The material could help rapidly clear wound infections to accelerate healing while reducing the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

Study shows breath test can confirm bacterial infection

2026-03-19T11:40:00+00:00

A study shows how molecules that are only broken down by infecting bacteria, and not by gut bacteria, can be used to confirm infection. By enriching these molecules with a naturally occurring carbon isotope, the researchers found that carbon dioxide produced when they break down is easily detected in a breath test.
