A major breakthrough in the search for alternatives to antibiotics and the treatment of infection could provide microbiologists with a whole new insight into the way germs co-exist with or attack humans.
The discovery led by a team in the Schools of Life Sciences and Chemistry at The University of Nottingham has revealed that bacteria are ‘hijacking’ the human body’s own immune defences to adapt their life style inside our body and survive our immune response or build up their own attack.
