'Predators that just run in and grab, stab and kill': The deep cave #bacteria resistant to modern #medicine

Ancient bacteria, trapped in caves for millions of years, live in a miniature world of terror. Their only #food source is each other. The survival tactics they develop make them resistant to almost all #antibiotics. Now scientists hope to use their tricks to inspire new #drugs and treatments.

MrkA enhances the virulence phenotype of #carbapenem -resistant #Klebsiella pneumoniae both in vitro & in vivo.

MrkA drives CRKP virulence by linking iron uptake, adhesion & carbon metabolism, with deletion sharply reducing pathogenicity.
