"IBM researchers create nanomedicine to kill bacteria where antibiotics fail"

IBM researchers have created a nanomedicine that can be used to kill bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics. This is a synthetic, biodegradable and nanoparticle that also isolates and kills the "bad cells" and not the "good cells". Antibiotics do not have this ability and therefore may do not only kill the bad cells when fighting bacteria, but they also kill the "good cells". These nanopaticles are biodegradable because they are made from simple organic molecules and they can exit the body whereas antibiotics do not completely leave the body and can therefore they may cause harmful effects.
