Science News Study Gives Insight into Mechanism That Fuels Antibiotic Resistance LatestLY

Houston [Texas], April 3 (ANI): A concern to global health is antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections were blamed for an estimated 1.3 million deaths globally in 2019 alone. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have been examining the mechanism that fuels antibiotic resistance at the molecular level in an effort to help find a solution to this rising issue. Scientists document important and unexpected initial steps that support resistance to ciprofloxacin, also known as cipro or cipro, one of the most frequently given antibiotics, in the journal Molecular Cell. The results suggest potential tactics that could delay the emergence of…
