Researchers from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia have discovered how resistance has contributed to the emergence of dominant strains of Salmonella. In addition to antimicrobial resistance, bacteriophage resistance can give these insects a boost, at least in the short term. With the rise in antimicrobial resistance, the search for new ways …
