Still Waters Posted June 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2014 A breakthrough in the race to solve antibiotic resistance has been made by scientists. New research reveals an Achilles' heel in the defensive barrier that surrounds drug-resistant bacterial cells. The findings pave the way for a new wave of drugs that kill superbugs by bringing down their defensive walls rather than attacking the bacteria itself. It means that in future, bacteria may not develop drug-resistance at all. http://www.scienceda...40618140014.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
