They can be so challenging to treat. These bacteria have incredible evasion mechanisms to work around antibiotics.

I’m definitely interested in doing more research into this question with our lab studies on botanicals

Important work! Thank you for diving deeper into something that is very common where we need better treatment options and understanding of the long term consequences of drug use.
