Researchers have known antibiotic resistance would make infection prevention more difficult over time, but some are already finding major hindrances to treatment due to aggressive strains of superbug ...

For example, resistance can occur when bacteria adapt in response to antibiotic exposure. Frequent exposure of a bacteria population to an antibiotic can lead to the strengthening of cell walls – ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Researchers have devised a method for investigating how effective antibiotics are against different bacterial strains.
