The new electronic patch is a new solution to deal with super bacteria

The growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the biggest challenges in the field of global health. Researchers are looking for new solutions to deal with this problem. In this regard, scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of California San Diego have developed an innovative electronic patch that can act as a powerful weapon against infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, by sending weak electrical pulses, this patch inhibits the activity of harmful genes in bacteria and prevents their growth. In fact, this patch kills bacteria by creating an unsuitable environment for them. The researchers tested this patch on pig skin and very promising results were obtained. They found that the patch could kill more than 99 percent of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria (which commonly cause hospital-acquired infections).

This method can serve as an effective alternative to antibiotics against resistant bacteria. The electronic patch is placed locally on the infected area and hence reduces the side effects of other treatment methods. Since this method does not require complex medical equipment, it can also be used in remote and underserved areas.

This innovative technology is a big step towards more effective treatment of infections. Researchers are conducting further studies to investigate the performance of this patch on different types of bacteria and body tissues. Also, they are working to improve this patch for use in clinical settings. A new electronic patch has raised hopes for tackling the growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. This technology can be used as a powerful tool in fighting infections and saving the lives of many patients.
