Toronto researchers have a 'sweet' solution for killing E. coli in drinking water

Researchers from York University in Toronto have created a product that uses sugar to lure E. coli in drinking water into a deadly trap.DipTreat uses glucose to fish E. coli from water, traps the bacteria within a porous paper matrix, and kills them using the antimicrobial properties of moringa seed extract — commonly known as drumstick or horseradish tree.York's Lassonde School's Micro and Nano-scale Transport (MNT) Lab previously discovered new ways of detecting E. coli in contaminated water using a Mobile Water Kit.
