Scientists have identified a key process in the way bacteria protect themselves from attack — and it heralds a new strategy in the hunt for antibiotics. The researchers have pieced together how bacteria build their outer, defensive wall — in essence, the cell’s armor plating.
Exploiting a chink in the armor of bacteria could result in new drug therapies
