CSUN microbiologists beat bacterial drug resistance by clogging a molecular pump
Antibiotic resistant bacteria pose a growing threat, potentially leaving doctors without effective treatments for many common infections. One way to stave off that future is…

CSUN microbiologists find bacteria resistant to a “last-resort” antibiotic throughout Los Angeles soils
Antibiotic resistance factors carried by environmental bacterial can provide a reservoir of resistance to disease-causing bacteria, via horizontal gene transfer. This risk is thrown into…
