SIMBA innovation in the fight against superbacteria
Innovation offers faster and cheaper solution in finding new active substances in the fight against superbacteria
The growing phenomenon of superbacteria, as we call bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics, is a global health problem. The problem is exacerbated by the merging of bacteria in biofilms, which offers them protection and survival in very harsh conditions and facilitates the transmission of resistance. For this very reason the global development of new antibiotics is focused on their effects on other properties of the bacteria, such as attaching bacteria to the surface, movement or interaction between bacteria, and not just on survival. The new orientation of development urgently requires a new methodology. -
New method for structural health monitoring and failure
Lightweight structures such as wind turbines and aircraft are exposed to high dynamic loads during operation. Due to these operating conditions and their low mass, they vibrate. This is comparable to musical instruments, which produce sounds due to induced vibrations.
