Scientists from the University of Sheffield have found that genetic mutations in MRSA allow it to evolve and become more resistant to antibiotics such as penicillin.
The research, published in PLOS Pathogens, found that genetic mutations in MRSA are allowing the bacteria to become highly resistant to antibiotics without reducing the...
With over 1.2 million people affected in Germany alone and over 50 million people worldwide, Alzheimer’s disease also referred to simply as Alzheimer’s, is one of the greatest medical and social challenges of our time.
