Smart Polymer Changes Color and Activates Natural Antimicrobial Enzymes When Bacterial Contamination is Detected

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria that colonize medical equipment and surfaces are causing shocking annual rises in the number of patients becoming infected in clinics and hospitals. Efforts to reduce these numbers are now carried out by a KAUST team through the usage of a smart polymer capable of changing color and activating natural antimicrobial enzymes when bacterial contamination is identified.
