EastBio: Bet-hedging bacteria: computational modelling of RNA repair and antibiotic survival

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Bacterial cells rarely behave identically, even within a genetically uniform population. This variability underlies heteroresistance, where some cells resist antibiotics better than others despite being genetically identical, allowing infections to persist and relapse. Read more
