Molecular drills can target and destroy deadly bacteria that have resistance to nearly all antibiotics

Rice, Texas A&M-led research shows motors kill bacteria, revive some antibacterial drugs Molecular drills have gained the ability to target and destroy deadly bacteria that have evolved resistance to nearly all antibiotics. In some cases, the drills make the antibiotics effective once again. Researchers at Rice University, Texas A&M University, Biola University and Durham (U.K.)
