Antibiotic-Resistance Researchers Shed Light on Superbug Hospital Infections
A team of Cal State Fullerton antibiotic-resistance researchers are one step closer to shedding light on why Acinetobacter baumannii, one of the most powerful and deadly bacterial pathogens, is so hard to eradicate in people with weakened immune systems and in hospital settings. Their latest study, published in July in Frontiers in Microbiology (Infectious Diseases section), calls attention to how this superbug is able to grow and live by adapting to its environment inside the human body.
