Mechanism underlying bacterial resistance to the antibiotic albicidin revealed

Mechanism underlying bacterial resistance to the antibiotic albicidin revealed: New study underscores the growing threat of antibiotic resistance in healthcare

A new analysis shows that infectious bacteria exposed to the antibiotic albicidin rapidly develop up to a 1,000-fold increase in resistance via a gene amplification mechanism.

Mechanism underlying bacterial resistance to the antibiotic albicidin revealed

A new analysis shows that infectious bacteria exposed to the antibiotic albicidin rapidly develop up to a 1,000-fold increase in resistance via a gene amplification mechanism. Mareike Saathoff of Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, and colleagues present these findings in the open access journal PLOS Biology.
