Antibiotics work by killing bacteria that cause infections, but the bacteria that survive can become stronger and more resistant to treatment.
What if we could prevent bacteria from making us sick without killing them? SFU researchers are using #datascience to explore this approach: https://research2reality.com/health-medicine/antivirulence-solution-antibiotic-resistance-disease-spread-healthcare-medicine/ #SFUScience #SFUMBB #antivirulence #antimicrobialresistance #sfu
What Doesn't Kill Bacteria Won't Make Them Stronger - Research2Reality
To avert a global health catastrophe due to antibiotic resistance, researchers are exploring ways to neutralize virulent bacteria without killing them.
I'm very excited to share that our new review on the development of
#antivirulence therapeutics that I wrote with @venuslauu, @minisciencegirl, and @fionabrinkman is out! Well done, everyone! @eBioMedicine
