Bismuth Compounds and Materials as Antibacterial Agents

抗菌素耐药性已被世界卫生组织确定为全球面临的最大威胁之一。有效抗菌剂的数量正在迅速减少。抗菌素耐药性的威胁在医院和保健设施中最大。我们的项目旨在生产一系列新的铋基抗菌材料，这些材料将用于临床设备，涂层和表面，以对抗耐药细菌引起的感染的增加。

Antimicrobial resistance has been identified by the World Health Organisation as one of the greatest threats we face globally. The amount of effective antibacterial agents is rapidly diminishing. The threat of antimicrobial resistance is greatest in hospitals and health-care facilities. Our project aims to produce a new range of bismuth based antibacterial materials, which will be used in devices, coatings and surfaces in the clinic, to combat the rise of infections caused by resistant bacteria.
