Scientists have pin-pointed a gene that helps deadly E. coli bacteria evade antibiotics

Posted on by Hippocratic Post

Scientists at the University of Queensland have pinpointed a gene that helps deadly E. coli bacteria evade antibiotics, potentially leading to better treatments for millions of people worldwide. The University of Queensland-led study found a particular form of the bacteria – E. coli ST131 – had a previously unnoticed gene that made it highly resistant […]
