ANSTO has collaborated on research that has produced the first in vitro model of the outer membrane of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli), which is expected to be used as a robust tool for developing antibiotics and other drugs. Single-cell gram negative bacteria, such as E.coli, are increasingly a source of antibiotic-resistant infections.
