NewsScientists find new way to disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria and restore healing in chronic wounds
Scientists have discovered a new way that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The study shows how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), actively prevents wound healing.
