New Study finds innovative Peptide-Hydrogel restores the effectiveness of antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria
Swedish med-tech firm Amferia announced findings that antibiotic-resistant bacteria can regain its sensitivity to antibiotics when combined with the company’s peptide-hydrogel. Results of a collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology and Amferia show that antibiotics can have a 64 times higher bactericidal effect when used together with Amferia’s proprietary material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination. The bacteria-killing material is a proprietary hydrogel, which can be adapted to many medical applications. Photo: Saba
