Scientists create 'suicide bomber'?
Scientists have developed what they call a "suicide bomber" bacteria, which can detect and destroy a hospital superbug resistant to antibiotics.
Researchers in the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore engineered a strain of E.coli that can detect signs of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading cause of infection that can be fatal to patients with weak immune systems. The specially designed bacteria produces a toxin that is lethal to the superbug, before blowing themselves apart like bombs and splattering the substance over the surrounding area, the Daily Telegraph reported. -superbug/83383/ |
