A NATURAL ANTIMICROBIAL TO CONTROL PATHOGENIC E. COLI
AbstractHarmful strains of Escherichia coli bacteria, primarily found in cattle cause severe, sometimes life-threatening human illness. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 110,000 cases (due to specifically enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)) occur annually in the United States, and is now plaguing more than 30...

Electrochemical Scaffold for Wound Healing
This technology establishes a novel foundation as an alternative to antibiotic-free wound dressings to eliminate infectious species from tissue via the continuous delivery of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Considerable attention is being focused on alternative, antibiotic-free biofilm removal strategies and the concept of electrical stimulation as a wound...
