Evolutionary model for antibiotic resistance reveals dose timing critical
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study uses a "fitness seascape" evolutionary model to predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance. It found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead

Study sheds light on antibiotic resistance in bacteria
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Bacteria utilise a number of strategies to combat the treatments meant to kill them. One of the most prevalent of these weapons is ribosome-modifying enzymes. These enzymes are becoming increasingly common, appearing in clinical samples from bacteria with varying drug resistances all over th
