Infection traps

A new type of material that is used to heal wounds like burns, has a type of 'booby trap' for the bacteria. This new product causes the bacteria to kill itself, the bacteria that is in the product looks like the harmful bacteria but it attacks the harmful bacteria. The product will not hurt normal or good bacteria. Most disinfectants kill all bacteria including the good kind. This new product will help burn patients and people with other injuries heal faster.


I think that it is great that medical science is getting better every day, this new product might help save lives. Many people with burns or other injuries like that take several months or years to heal. This product will kill the bad bacteria and keep the good kind. It also helps them heal faster with is always good. I think that this will also be used for other purposes. Killing bacteria is always a good thing.
