The results suggest C1-aminomethylene vancomycin may be an effective agent against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The ability of bacterial strains to acquire resistance to antibiotics faster than antibacterial therapies
Our Reader Score [Total: 1 Average: 5] Researchers from Duke University in North Carolina produced pathogen-resistant crops without compromising the plant’s yield and fitness. Plants are commonly attacked by microbial, viral or fungal pathogens. Improving crop production involves the applications of pesticides. In recent years, genetically modified pathogen-resistant crops that express a high level of
