Scientists unveil tool to spot emerging antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria

News


Abstract

Multidrug-resistant bacteria kill five million people each year, with newly resistant germs emerging faster than scientists can develop treatments. Now, researchers have developed a platform that identifies drug resistance genes already circulating in the environment before they emerge in the clinic and directly couples this information to the design of resistance-evasive antibiotics.
