UGA Research Sheds Light on Mechanism That Leads to Drug-Resistant Superbugs
ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 28 -- The University of Georgia issued the following news release:
Drug-resistant organisms, or so-called "superbugs," are a growing public health threat because "last-resort" therapeutics-employed only when other drugs fail to kill an infection-are failing. A University of Georgia-led research team is the first to examine multiple strains of one of the most dangerous superbugs known to science and a last-resort antibiotic used to treat it. T . . .
