Recycled Plastic Proves Effective in Killing a Drug-Resistant Fungi.

Earlier today in Singapore, researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology discovered a possibly life saving use for polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is usually used in the making of plastic bottles, but has now been converted into a non-toxic biocompatible material. This new material has a strong ability to kill fungi. This fungi is drug-resistant, and gives researchers hope for ways to treat diseases caused by topical fungi. In my opinion, whenever science comes closer to finding a cure for any disease, it should be widely recognized. Eventually experimental treatments may occur and sufferers should know about this option.
