The rise of antibiotic resistance has been a growing threat to global health in recent years. Now, researchers have discovered a new way to combat the phenomenon: by understanding the behavior of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In a new study, published in the journal Science, researchers from the University of Washington have developed a method to observe and track the behavior of antibiotic-resistant bacteria during the process of drug resistance. By doing so, they can identify patterns in the bacteria’s behavior that can be used to develop new strategies for combating antibiotic resistance. The team hopes that this approach will lead to better understanding of how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, and ultimately help to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance in the future.
