MADISON, Wis. — Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison said they are excited about an inflection-fighting breakthrough that shows promise in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Dr. Helen Blackwell, assistant professor of chemistry at UW-Madison, and her graduate students have been working to find a new way to fight bacteria that are becoming increasingly resistant to drugs.
“There is an urgent need to develop new anti-bacterial agents,” Blackwell said.
