Project Description

Antibiotic resistance has been an increasing issue over the past several years. This research proposes a new drug delivery method using carbon nanotubes and tetracycline. Tetracycline is attached to the carbon nanotubes and placed in solution with Escherichia coli in order to combat antibiotic resistance.
