Neutralizing Extracellular Electron Transport Disarms Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Restores Healing in Chronic Wounds

NTU Singapore scientists find new way to disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria and restore healing in chronic wounds

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new way that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Published in Science Advances, the study done with collaborators at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, shows how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), actively prevents wound healing. The team also demon…

S’pore study finds new way to disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria, hasten healing of chronic wounds

The researchers aim to move towards human clinical trials after using ongoing studies in animal models. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Why Antibiotics Aren’t Enough for Some Chronic Wounds

Researchers found that a common antibiotic-resistant bacterium prevents wounds from healing by chemically paralyzing skin cells rather than attacking them directly. Scientists from an international research group led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have identified an approach that may help chronic wounds heal faster, including wounds infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Chronic wounds are [...]

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new method that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Disarming Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria That Prevent Healing in Chronic Wounds

An international team of scientists, headed by a team at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new way that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Collaborating with researchers at the University of Geneva, the team’s preclinical study showed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, actively prevents wound healing. The results of their collective studi…
