Some bacteria can’t be seen with the human eye, which means they may be missed by physicians when cleaning a wound. 

 

Now, a new medical technology that uses fluorescent light has shown to be effective in detecting missed bacteria, according to new research led by University of Southern California, Los Angeles (USC).

This is incredible news that will benefit so many.
