Title : Managing bacterial eradication in disease and survival for life support systems on Earth and space
AC Matin, Stanford University, United States
Bacteria like Escherichia coli cause disease but are also beneficial in resource regeneration. Its UPEC strain causes cystitis, which is treated by gentamicin. The protein ss, encoded by the rpoS gene, controls E. coli resistance to antimicrobial agents. We discovered that rpoS d [....] » Read More
