Excited to share our study led by @SakenovaNazgul! We used chemical genetics to identify and understand cross-resistance & collateral-sensitivity (CS) between antibiotics and reduced AMR development with CS drug pairs @embl.org with @camille_goemans @EPFL_en www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/3) Antibiotic resistance is costing human lives. 🦠 A study from EMBL's Typas group proposed a framework to identify antibiotic pairs that make bacteria resistant to one antibiotic but sensitive to other – this can help design new treatments and delay resistance. 🧬🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
