Persistent bacteria could aggravate the problem |
|
|
Antibiotic resistance is one reason why antibiotic treatment sometimes fails, another reason is antibiotic persistence. New insights into this phenomenon were presented at the EMBO Workshop "Bacterial Persistance and Antimicrobial Therapy" in Ascona on 10 - 14 June 2018. Among the participants were biological physicist Nathalie Q. Balaban and microbiologist Sophie Helaine. In an interview, they talk about the causes and implications of persistence and possible links to antibiotic resistance. |
