New Light On Detection of Bacterial Infection: Polymers Fluoresce in the Presence of Bacteria
Professor Sheila MacNeil, an expert in tissue engineering and wound healing, explained: "The polymers incorporate a fluorescent dye and are engineered to recognise and attach to bacteria, collapsing around them as they do so. This change in polymer shape generates a fluorescent signal that we´ve been able to detect using a hand-held UV lamp."
