A golden solution quickly eliminates bacterial infections, no antibiotics required

A golden solution quickly eliminates bacterial infections, no antibiotics required: Researchers have developed sugar-coated gold nanoparticles that they used to both image and destroy biofilms. In a study, the authors demonstrated the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the nanoparticles on the teeth and wounded skin of rats and mice, eliminating the biofilms in as little as one minute and outperforming common antimicrobials.
