Research – How Bacteria Survive Antibacterial Treatment

Science Directpseud
The mechanism by which some bacteria are able to survive antibacterial treatment has been revealed for the first time by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers. Their work could pave the way for new ways to control such bacteria.

The research on persistent bacteria has been conducted in Prof. Balaban’s lab for several years, focusing on the development of a biophysical understanding of the phenomenon. It will be combined with other work being done in Prof. Glaser’s laboratory focusing on combating persistent bacteria, in the hope of leading to more effective treatment for bacterial infections.
