Another beautiful paper from @foster_lab, @Sheffield_AFM, @PerBullough & @steverenshaw in @sheffielduni. Unraveling the mechanisms of antibiotic killing of bacteria using a combination of molecular microbiology and incredible imaging using AFM and EM pnas.org/content/118/44…










.@MrJafs, @foster_lab and colleagues @SheffieldMBB @UniofNewcastle demonstrate the importance of appropriate #cellwall structure and dynamics during #Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis, providing new insight to the mechanisms of disease. buff.ly/3dtdqQK
