STUDIU: A fost descoperită o genă care ajută bacteriile intestinale dăunătoare să reziste la antibiotice şi dezinfectanţi

Australian scientists have identified a key gene in Clostridioides difficile that enables it to resist hospital disinfectants and antibiotics. This gene allows the bacteria's spores to survive in harsh conditions, posing a significant risk in healthcare settings. The study highlights the potential for these resistant strains to spread more easily and complicate infection control efforts. Researchers are currently exploring ways to target these spores to combat antibiotic resistance.
