A new way to make bacteria more sensitive to antibiotics – MIT News
SMART researchers found a way to reverse antibiotic resistance in some bacteria using hydrogen sulphide. Exposing bacteria that don't naturally produce H2S to the substance can cause sensitization to antibiotics.
Researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MITs research enterprise in Singapore, have discovered a new way to reverse antibiotic resistance in some bacteria using hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
Growing antimicrobial resistance is a major threat for the world with a projected 10 million deaths each year by 2050 if no action is taken. The World Health Organization also warns that by 2030, drug-resistant diseases could force up to 24 million people into extreme pove…
