Antibiotic multiresistance: why bacteria are so effective

(PhysOrg.com) -- In an article due to be published in Science, teams from the Institut Pasteurand the University of Limoges, associated with the CNRS and Inserm, decipherfor the first time the molecular mechanism that enables bacteria to acquiremultiresistance to antibiotics, and that even allows them to adapt thisresistance to their environment. This discovery highlights the difficulties thatwill have to be tackled by public health strategies if they are to address theproblems created by multiresistance.
