Smart Bandage Kills Only Bad Bacteria

##### Anti-bacterial soaps and salves have been great for keeping us healthy, but they've begun to lose their potency as bacteria becomes resistant to them. That means a tougher time recovering from illness with antibiotics. But what if we could kill just the bad bacteria, and keep the bacteria that is part of staying healthy? That's what researchers are working on as they come up with a bandage that filters through the many microbes on a wound and keeps out only those that are harmful. Phys.org reports that this new "smart bandage" improves our current use of antibiotics - which kills both good and bad bacteria - by killing only the bacteria that causes infection. Created by researchers at the University of Bath in England, the bandage works in sync with how bacteria operate. #####
