Skin patch could thwart antibiotic resistance

[AussieNeil]

With our greater reliance on antibiotics to help us overcome infections, it's encouraging to read of approaches that aim to extend the time before antibiotic resistance reduces their effectiveness: newatlas.com/antibiotic-mic...

This approach should also reduce the levels of antibiotics entering wastewater - hotspots for antibiotic resistant bacteria: abc.net.au/news/2016-09-22/... ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/233...

I'm very glad that the illustration of the skin patch is a scale model (like the living bee in my photo - courtesy of plants) and not to size!!
