Study maps full evolutionary journey of hospital superbug – Devdiscourse

Researchers during a new study discovered that antibiotic treatment and modern hospitals alone don’t create the antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that are seen today. Instead, it was the selection pressure prior to the widespread use of antibiotics that influenced some of them to develop. By using analytical and sequencing technology that has only been developed in recent years, scientists from Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Oslo, and the University of Cambridge have created…
