Microscopic strands of ‘DNA origami’ could boost effectiveness of antibiotics and halt the rise of superbugs
Scientists at the University of Cambridge found a technique whereby the microscopic devices crafted from intricately folded strands of DNA, and forcing bacteria into contact with drugs, slowed the growth rate of two common bugs, one of which was E. coli. They added that the folded DNA method could allow lower doses of antibiotics to…
