Staphylococcus aureus resistance varies by biotope, study finds
Original: Biotope-dependent resistance to reactive oxygen species, antibiotic tolerance, and virulence of Staphylococcus aureus
Research published in Nature shows that Staphylococcus aureus resistance to reactive oxygen species, its tolerance of antibiotics, and its virulence depend on the biotope, or specific environment, in which the bacterium resides. The findings suggest that the same bacterial strain can behave very differently depending on where it colonises, with implications for how antibiotic tolerance and infection severity are understood and treated.
Why now: A new Nature study on how environment shapes antibiotic resistance and virulence in a major pathogen is drawing scientific attention.
