Danish researchers have now discovered that bacteria use a code language to avoid being controlled. Understanding this code language will be paramount to developing new antibiotics in the future.
Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a growing global challenge. The researchers at Aarhuis University have now discovered that bacteria use a code language to avoid being controlled. Understanding this code language will be paramount to developing new antibiotics in the future.
Pathogenic bacteria – such as those that cause tuberculosis and typhoid fever – use a variety of clever tricks against our immune system and the antibiotics we use to control them.
