'It's a mechanical way of killing at the nanometer scale.'
caught up with Tour to learn more about the new technology and what it could mean for the future of medicine. Tour: It's a molecular machine that will drill into a bacterium to kill it. We've already shown that we can kill cancer cells with these nanomachines by drilling into the cancer cells. Now we're showing that these can kill bacteria. It doesn't matter if they're gram-negative or gram-positive. It doesn't matter what kind of bacteria they are. It kills them all.
Tour: Bacteria are slated to kill 10 million people a year by the year 2050. So, what I tell students is when you're my age, bacterial infection is going to make COVID look like a walk in the park. Bacteria are already killing many, many people every year, especially in hospital settings.We have to learn to control these things because they adapt their structure to resist antibiotics. There are not many drug companies working on new antibiotics because there's no money in it.
