Protein Found To Promote Antibiotic Resistance In A Common Food-borne Pathogen

Researchers have identified a novel factor that promotes the development of antibiotic resistance in a bacterial pathogen. The study explains that Mfd, a protein involved in DNA transcription and repair, plays an important role in the development of fluoroquinolone resistance in Campylobacter, a bacterial pathogen commonly associated with food poisoning in humans.
