INVISIBLE to the naked eye, bacteria are constantly evolving in their quest for survival.

Over the years, the misuse and overuse of antibiotics have inadvertently fuelled the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as “superbugs”.

These superbugs are equipped with ingenious defence mechanisms, such as forming castles of slime called biofilms, in which bacterial communities are well-protected against attacks from antibiotics and the immune system.
