ITHACA, New York, May 29 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Bacteria have a cunning ability to survive in unfriendly environments.
For example, through a complicated series of interactions, they can identify - and then build resistance to - toxic chemicals and metals, such as silver and copper. Bacteria rely on a similar mechanism for defending against antibiotics.
Cornell researchers combined genetic engineering, single-molecule tracking and . . .
