The medieval treatment can help medical professionals to treat infections that have become resistant to antibiotics, which is a growing problem. It is expected that millions of people will die by 2050 because many more infections are becoming resistant to antibiotics. British researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick have been researching natural antimicrobials, to identify new treatments. They were focused on finding new remedies for bacteria that are protected by biofilms, which can be incredibly challenging to treat. One biofilm
