Antibiotic Multi-resistance: Why Bacteria Are So Effective
Date: 3.6.2009
In an article published in Science, teams from the Institut Pasteurand the University of Limoges, associated with the CNRS and Inserm, decipher for the first time the **molecular mechanism** that enables bacteria to acquire **multi-resistance to antibiotics**, and that even allows them to adapt this resistance to their environment. This discovery highlights the difficulties that will have to be tackled by public health strategies if they are to address the problems created by multi-resistance.
