Evolved to stop bacteria, designed for stability
E-Mail Connections are crucial. Bacteria may be most dangerous when they connect - banding together to build fortress-like structures known as biofilms that afford them resistance to antibiotics. But a biomolecular scientist in Israel and a microbiologist in California have forged their own connections that could lead to new protocols for laying siege to biofilm-protected colonies. Their research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS), USA. This interdisciplinary collaboration began with a lecture given at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the Life...
