A way of killing harmful bacteria without using antibiotics they can form a resistance to has been developed.
It uses tiny metal structures that kill the microbes by poking holes in them.
It’s a coating for medical devices using a completely new application of this year's Nobel Prize-winning material called metal-organic frameworks.
These materials can physically impale, puncture and kill bacteria before they have time to attach to the surface through tiny sharp points in the material known as nanotips.
This results in the death of the microbe, without promoting the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A team at Sweden's Chalmers University led by Dr. Zhejian Cao said the most important element was the spacing between the nanotips.
If it is too large, bacteria can slip through and attach to the underlying.
If the distance is too small, the mechanical stress exerted by the nanotips on the bacterial cells is reduced so that the bacteria survive.
They created a microscopic coating made up of two metal-organic frameworks. layers grown on top of the other.
By precisely controlling the crystalline growth of the material, the researchers were able to tweak the spacing of the nanotips that protruded from the layers.
The coating is constructed in a way that allows it to be applied to a variety of surfaces and integrated into other materials.
OPS: A scanning electron microscopy image of the MOF-on-MOF surface with sharp nanotips for killing the bacteria.
