Researchers say E. coli Nissle might shield human cells towards different extra pathogenic strains of E. coli comparable to E. coli 0157:H7, which is usually related to contaminated hamburger meat.

Researchers have used entire genome sequencing (WGS) to display transmission of a single bacterial pressure that possessed a carbapenem-resistance gene in a northern California hospital. The gene armed the micro organism with resistance to carbapenems, a sort of antimicrobial drug reserved as a last-line therapy for severe infections.
