Bacteria Can Become More Tolerant of Antibiotics by Shapeshifting – Technology Networks
New research demonstrates how certain types of bacteria can adapt to long-term exposure to antibiotics by changing their shape.
New research led by Carnegie Mellon University Assistant Professor of Physics Shiladitya Banerjee demonstrates how certain types of bacteria can adapt to long-term exposure to antibiotics by changing their shape. The work was published today in the journal Nature Physics.
Adaptation is a fundamental biological process driving organisms to change their traits and behavior to better fit their environment, whether it be the famed diversity of finches observed by pioneering biologist Charles Darwin…
