A Caltech-led study published in Nature Microbiology found that drought conditions increase the abundance of antibiotic-resistant microbes in soil, establishing a direct link between climate-driven ...
A Caltech-led study published in Nature Microbiology found that drought drives elevated antibiotic resistance across soils worldwide, with drier regions showing consistently higher frequencies of ...
New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, and those genes can end up in human pathogens. One of the longest running battles on Earth has been ongoing for ...
It's one of the highest-stakes battles on earth: bacteria versus antibiotics. And in the human realm, bacteria appear to be gaining ground. Worldwide, many antibiotics are starting to lose their bite.
