Cross Section of Skin Layers (IMAGE)
Caption
Artist's rendition of a cross section of skin layers (stratum corneum, epidermis and dermis) shows topical application of an ionic liquid for combating a skin-borne bacterial infection. The ionic liquid can be formulated with antibiotics for transdermal drug delivery or it can directly kill the bacteria infesting the skin surface.
